Hiya Darlin',
Did not get enough hours of sleep, though I did sleep well in the cooler weather! Managed to get all my chores and breakfast done just in time for Brian's arrival at 9:00, though he arrived in his old Ford truck rather than the ATV that we had planned on. Apparently, he couldn't get it started this morning. So we headed out and started bouncing our way down trails, clearing as best we could. I had grabbed my folding loppers and my mini chainsaw, but was in a bit of a rush, so I forgot to put a battery in it, duh! We worked right through until after 1:00, with the last mile or so just walking, as Brian went back to get the truck and I carried on and met him close to the end of the trail. Exhausting work! But it looked a lot better afterwards, of course. He dropped me off at camp, and I decided that rather than use up the hay in my stall and then have to go searching for more, that I would find hay here and store it under the gooseneck for the duration, which would mean I could leave with a full stock of hay. I found a place on Marketplace, and went to check it out, but it turned out to be goat hay, not fit for my horses. I passed the Barclay Ranch along the way advertising hay, so I pulled in and discovered some nice hay for $6.00, and bales were very heavy! There was an honor tub for payment, so I loaded myself up with eleven bales, left a check, and headed back through Hale, stopping for a couple of groceries and at the hardware store where I bought a sillcock for the water here, but unfortunately, it was the wrong size, so I'll have to order the 4-prong one from Amazon and return this one. Was exhausted by the time I got back. I feel like I'm walking through a fog! I let the horses out on their anchors for awhile, had veggies and bacon for dinner, barely finished off last night's House episode on my tablet, which seems to do better on a weak signal than my TV, which was never able to pull it in, and finally got online long enough to order a Starlink Mini. I've been talking about this for years, and with the terrible cell service throughout Michigan, I decided I've had enough struggling with it. I spend so much time on the computer or watching TV, it's just ridiculous I have let myself struggle so long. Having it sent to my friend Sandy's, hope it gets here in a reasonable amount of time. The website says 2-3 weeks, but I suspect it will be here sooner, I hope! Anyway, I'm a dish of ice cream and a Spanish lesson (I just passed 1500 consecutive days!) away from shower and bed. Good night, baby! Love you!
