Sunday, August 3, 2025 – Another Busy and Tiring Day

Hey Babe,
Woke up even before my early alarm, but had a good night sleep so I was pretty refreshed. All this physical labor is reminding me just how sedentary I've been for the last few months! Amanda gave me some tiny quail eggs this morning, it took six just to cover a piece of toast, but they were delicious! I managed to get my chores and breakfast done, then even had some spare time to move the trailer before Richard arrived. He was running a little late, but it worked out fine, I was able to get settled and start a second load of laundry before he was ready for me to join him. We worked until nearly noon, but had to stop using the mower when the belt broke. He went to have lunch, I had a quick bowl of cereal, then went out to the pasture and managed to get all my posts in before he came and got me. We worked some more, felling a tree that was hanging way over the trail, plus more mowing with a different mower. He had trouble starting it, even tried jumping it and charging it, but I finally came back and got my little BeatIt jumper, and that worked like a charm! We did a lot more mowing and trimming, so overall, we got a lot of work done this weekend. Tomorrow he's back to his desk job, so I'm hoping to either take a day off, take a ride, or do some more trimming around the property, depending on how I feel. I've been going nonstop and could use a break, but I don't know how much I'll enjoy it when I'm staring at all this work that needs doing. After Richard dropped me off at the end of the day, I managed to finish getting up my portable fence and moving the horses over, so at least the two major jobs I needed doing to finally be settled in got finished. It was 7:00 by the time that happened. Had dinner and watch a Haven (and did I mention I did two loads of laundry in between moving the trailer?), and now I'm ready for a nice shower and another good night sleep. Good night, my darlin'! Love you!
