Running Round

Here on the country estate, we often have to take a whole day to run around. Thats today.

It looks like a beautiful fall day out there, but the day will be full of going to and fro.

The truck is full of construction debris from a remodel job that I spent all day hanging sheetrock on yesterday. It'll be mudded and taped by Wednesday, then we'll install the Tongue and Groove V-match ceiling in the bed room and the hardwood floors. Then trim and then Finished! On to the next one.

We keep losing chickens to coyotes or foxes or maybe hawks. We let them free-range the yard, because who can keep them penned up? But that is how the local predators get them. We don't have a yard dog and the cats won't tangle with a coyote or a fox. But one by one they're getting picked off. We'll have to get another batch of hatchlings. Speaking of chickens, getting chicken feed and bedding is on the list for today.

We're still a long way from being ready for snow to fly (Although, it snowed the other night, the biggest snowflakes I've ever seen.) The snow plow is still buried in the shed, and I've still got piles of lumber and other debris to cleanup before then.

And the house needs cleaning before my dad's arrival tonight.
