Here are the rest, including the tractor work, although it wasn't very heavy, just helpful, and the new hay stacked, 2 shots for reference. You can see the 60+ bales of 2024 straw that wasn't used. Next year will be different...

Re: that easy chair in the corner of the loft.

It's important to have a good place to sit up there.

But, wouldn't a hay bale be good enuf for that? How 'bout it you put an empty burlap bag over it to make it more comfortable? Oh forget all that, you had that surgery and extra comfort needs to be afforded ;).

We put that chair up in the loft. We had two of the same, DD's had sat too many times cross legged, so the webbing was knocked out. The other died--this one survived and YES, I do take breaks in that chair!

Going through the greening up tomatoes. ALL of these were bright green one week ago, now needing to be eaten/processed. The big ones I got for freebies at the farm stand. The small ones I grew. Equally delicious.

We had last of the season BLT's Saturday night--SOOO Yummy!
Today I cut and started dehydrating what hadn't been eaten. I have some that will be ripe enough for burgers on Wednesday. You will notice imperfections. I cut around them for dehydrating. Don't want to waste Any.

I've been B.U.S.Y.
DH is now in physical therapy. Making progress, BUT, too much sitting and not enough walking, so more work for Duckums!! :hit
The list of number of people to whom I would fetch and carry stops at one hand.
DH knows that he is Privileged, so I get to make more decisions like how to park his car in the garage...stuff like that.
At the office currently, waiting for DH to finish. He DOES work hard.
Anyway, here's a picture of cut cherry tomatoes that I dehydrated in October 28th.
