Storm days...

Sunday was prepare for the storm day.

  •  I went grocery shopping, which was a mad house! 
  • Mark & I got 60 bales of hay & stacked in the barn.
  • Took grain out of my trunk & K3  helped me deliver it to chicken coop, pig pen & sheep barn.
  • We moved the chicken coop, so they can clean up the remainder of my garden.
  • Took the chicks out of the basement & moved them into the little coop.
  • Brought the ewes in from the pasture & put them in with the ewe lambs
  • What to do with Dave (ram)? First we put him in a pen in the barn,  he rammed his way through that. Then we moved him in the corral ....Sorry Dave guess you won't have shelter from Sandy. 
  • K3 cleaned her coop & I cleaned the cows
  • Brought in all the outside furniture
  • Phew...finally ready! 
  • Ended the day by making popcorn we grew. Yummy!
Monday:
Dave & the steer kept head butting each other between the fence. The steer was bleeding. Stupid Boys! We decided it was time for Dave to go....Mark loaded him up & off the commission sales he went. Mark decided to brace up the chicken coop, we didn't want that to blow over. Then we settled in to await the storm with drink & a house full of kids. Since school was cancelled, my 2 nieces & nephew came to stay the night because their parents had to work in the morning. Lucky me had a storm day...one of the benefits to working in the school system.

Tuesday:
Home for the day...it's 68 degrees, a little rain, windy with a few big gust...but really uneventful. No damage or power loss here. Enjoying my day!
