Deb does all her laundry by hand. So whereas I used to be there, so did I. The Calliger hand wringer was superior. The primary time, I believed it was quite a lot of work. However whereas doing my second batch a number of days later, I used to be having fun with it, actually. Did plenty of batches throughout the 4 weeks I used to be there. Though one morning, I needed to put on heat gloves underneath some heavy rubber gloves. Deb says the one time she minds it’s throughout the winter. The lifetime of a homesteader.
It’s open vary so often horses or cows come by way of. Generally inflicting harm. I helped Deb begin on some fencing. We set 44 6.5’ T-posts. I picked up a 2nd “14 lb. put up driver with handles,” so the work went faster. The primary day I used to be getting a headache, all that pounding of metal on metal near my ears. IBU and earplugs weren’t sufficient. The following day I dug out my taking pictures muffs and all was nicely. Many spots proved to be a bear getting the posts in. A pair days we have been completely maxed. However as I staggered again to the Nash, I used to be pondering, not unhealthy for 72.
Once I obtained again to Timberon, I hung up a fowl feeder. The primary fowl, that I noticed, was a stellar jay however he was consuming the scratch grain I had unfold, hoping for wild turkeys. Two days later I seen a towhee, once more, going after the scratch grain. The following birds have been nuthatches. As you may keep in mind, my favourite birds to observe. And the primary to truly use the feeder. The following birds have been juncos.
A pal, on the north finish of Timberon, talked about that she noticed a hummingbird. A pair days after I put out my hummingbird feeder, one got here by.
I took this shot from the galley window. One time whereas I used to be outdoors, with out my digital camera, twelve hens have been feeding. Haven’t seen any gobblers but.
I seen a deer a pair instances. Guess I’ll need to put out some cracked corn.
Appears as if most of my regulars are coming again. Haven’t seen any rabbits but. It’s good to be listening to birds once more. Sooner or later I heard a fowl I used to be not conversant in however couldn’t discover it. Hope it was not a one time go to. Mourning doves are again however no white-winged doves but. Ready for a titmouse.
I used to be procrastinating with beginning on all of the work I need to do on the property. Yep, me simply being weak minded. Didn’t final.
I don’t do it as typically as I ought to, and through my jackass-years, I didn’t do it in any respect. However now, I really feel that almost every part I do know have to be reassessed and critically reviewed once in a while. Deserted if essential. It’s tough, generally painful and but, so very insightful. I might think about that those that are dedicated to changing into a greater individual simply do that naturally as a result of that’s the kind of individual they’re. Not a lot stopping to consider it. Then there are these like me who might use some assist. Generally I learn one thing or take heed to a query and it provides me pause to ponder. Thank the gods that I’ve a mindset to work in direction of bettering myself.
The ball is in your courtroom. Choose it up.
