Mike
is going on a 4-wheeler excursion with friends, so we had to make a trip to the
farm to get the 4-wheeler. Can’t go 4-wheeling without a 4-wheeler. So, we went
Friday (April 19) for another work session and our first overnighter of the
season. And it was COLD! The low Saturday morning was 38.
We got a lot done.
· Wifi turned on
· TV checked out
· Transplanted two
volunteer trees from town – a common hawthorn and an imitation cherry
· Cleaned pine straw and
debris from the snow breaks on the roof
· Sprayed herbicide on
lane
· Installed clothesline
· Two loads of laundry in
new washing machine
· Baked banana bread and
cookies in new oven
· Made bed with fresh
sheets
· Assembled and planted a
solar wind spinner
· Toured perimeter of
farm on 4-wheeler
It always seems like the hardest work falls to Mike, and he works hard. I always say that we have to come back to town to rest up – and Mike works hard here, too.
As for wildlife, the Canada goose is no longer on the pond – kinda disappointing. We haven’t seen many deer, but just as we were leaving Saturday afternoon, I spied six deer running across the field to the southwest. They soon disappeared over the rise toward the canyon. KW
Were you happy with the new washer and oven after their first use?
ReplyDeleteOh yes -- totally delighted! I'm just guardedly cautious with superlatives in this digital age.
ReplyDeleteOur old Kenmore range was quirky. It had some problems that I just put up with, but when the oven quit heating correctly, I said it had to go. The new one is great. The oven has a steam cleaning feature, and the stovetop boasts an oblong burner that can be fitted with a griddle.
And it's wonderful to have a new washer. As you now, I've always had a used washer at the farm, and it's great to have a new unit. It's a top loader, and I love that, too. It has a removable agitator for washing delicate items. Now if I can just remember to buy "HE" detergent. (Don't get me started on detergents!)
