Busy Day

Before breakfast I had spread 200 lbs of manure on the garden, which means I only have 400 more lbs to go ! Right now I am taking a bit of a break.

Early this morning, while Emery was putting the manure in small piles for me to work from, I was doing my chores and giving the milk barn a good cleaning. Scrubbing walls and shelves, tops of feed bins and later the stanchion. I guess the work today is my equivalent of going to the gym and working out. Hard work is good for a person, makes you stronger, chases away stress, and sleep at night comes easily after such a day. When the temperature starts climbing today, then I will do my inside work. There is still cooking and cleaning to be done and some laundry, and at some point I want to fit in some sewing. With all this in mind, I had better get off the computer and get to the chores at hand.

From the pictures, you would think red is my favorite color and you would be right.

My cute red wellies just don't look so pretty all covered in cow manure !
