And Will got nearly all the big sheets of metal barn roofing on. We finished all but the very last big sheet last night. Luckily his cordless driver has a light! Today it’s in the forties with some sun so we’re running around playing catchup because it’s supposed to dive into the single digits pretty soon. Brrrr. I’m planting my daffodils in a few minutes. They should have gone in a few weeks ago, but better late than never! Oh well, there’s always something left undone … or pretty much done at the very last minute! Homesteading life.
Our tom turkeys are strutting in the orchard. Real pretty. No, we’re not going to eat them; they’re our breeders for next spring. I’m trying to get all of the orchard trees’ trunks wrapped with plastic spirals or window screen to protect them against vole damage during the winter. I’ve got ’em all done but two plus our new cherry trees and honeyberry bushes. Hopefully I can get that done on Friday.
We’re hauling a load of cattle to the sale barn tomorrow so that day will be pretty much shot as it’s a hundred mile drive one way. Luckily David and the dogs will be around the homestead to keep an eye on everything! — Jackie
The barn is looking great. Is it for hay storage or are animals going to be in it too?
A wonderful thing has happened on the way to waiting my turn to have a question answered from Oct. In checking your daily blog I have been reminded over and over why I enjoy reading about your life, and implementing your wisdom. Thanks Darla
The barn looks great Jackie and Will! Sure know the feeling of trying to get everything ready for the winter!
The barn is looking wonderful! Just think where it will be this time next year. A real barn! It’s going to be so exciting. I can’t wait to see it.
