after living with someone who kept nine birds of various kinds i would not want to do that again. they were way too noisy for me (especially in the morning!).
not a bad day out there at all, not too hot, not too cold.
i went out to weed the old strawberry patch which has a lot of oxalis in it and plenty of other weeds too. it is the worst one i have left to get done (others still to go). first though i scraped another big garden to make sure none of the little grass plants in there have an easy chance to get going further. 20 minutes for a rather large garden is easy work compared to the old strawberry patch. i probably will not get it done today at the rate i'm going, but i should be able to make a good dent in it.
laying here on my futon is not, however, going to get that any further so i better get back out there.
NOT in my garden, but I got 2025-6 hay delivered yesterday, 300 bales. I finally swept where the old hay had been, EVERYWHERE in the loft, and moved/stacked 53 (2024) bales. they all weigh between 60-65 lbs each.
It looks nice and neat and I start This winter with 153 bales of hay, an adequate sufficiency.
