Thanks, good idea. Funny, my first thought was to get a good dose of chocolate. And then off to work on the garden and put some more paint on that board. If you keep moving, less likely to stiffen up. At least i didn't have to stitch myself up again like i did in TN. I was trying to trim goat hooves out in the pasture with sharp hoof shears and the goat yanked her foot while i was holding it near my leg. It ripped my leg open, but i did not let the goat get away with it and continued cutting hooves. My neighbor showed up just then and almost passed out when she saw the blood running down my leg. I really didn't want to spend hours in the ER waiting and i knew my tetanus shot was up to date. So we went up to the house and i sewed myself up while she looked the other way. My husband was impressed, said he didn't know if he could do that to himself.

Wow so I'm reading this on my phone at lunch. What I thought I saw at first was you fell off the porch and then you cut your leg all today. Still plenty painful. Ice ice ice.
 
I don't have any goats yet with hooves to trim, but i will have eventually. Nurses make poor patients, but i may ice it just to cool off. I do tend to fall when i am in the country, luckily i have lots of padding. It was a fluke, as i have been in that chair lots of times but i bent over to pick up the bug spray and suddenly Oops! One leg just went over the edge and it was all over. Funny, we are talking about making that porch bigger. The back porch is big, and has a gap where the stairs should be. Glad i did not fall off that one, it is about 8 feet down. Excited because tomorrow i am going to a chicken swap and hope to return with my first chicks in years, and perhaps rabbits.
 
The board for the brooder is painted, another painted to hinge it to. Picked several more handfuls of nails, glass and bullet casings out of the old burn pile by the house. Right where you have to drive the mule to get down from the river. The people that lived here before us left stuff like that all over. I am on bucket number 5 since we moved in. I got more gladioli planted, and all but 8 of the vincas. My cucumbers are coming up, and the morning glories i planted in pots have gone crazy since the rain. I need to get them in the ground near the fence.

transplanted some corn seedlings in the BTE orchard today. The green beans and corn planted there are a nice vibrant green. My watermelon seedlings are starting to run. Picked a handful of sugar snaps from my 7.5' tall vines this morning.

Insects are giving me amnesty at the moment. However, mosquito population is bad.
