Wednesday, October 11, 2023 – Productive Day

Hey Babe,
Got up bright and early today, started a load of laundry and was out raking and burning by about 8:00. Finished some piles in the second paddock from yesterday that didn't quite get done, then got busy raking fire breaks in the next two paddocks. Moved the horses to the first paddock, since that was the only one I didn't have fires going in, there was even some grass left in there! I wanted to get done before the rain was supposed to come in (calling for 100% chance), which was around 4:00, and now it's after 8:00 p.m. and I haven't seen any rain yet! Radar is showing a lot of moisture in the air, looks like rain, but it's fake signals, all I've seen is a couple of drops. Looks heavier to the west, heading this way, but we'll see! I hope it does rain, it will be the perfect finish for my burning job, melting all the ash down and getting rid of the smell of smoke. I'm going to close up the windows, just in case, can't trust these weather forecasts at all anymore! Had to switch out my shoelaces on my boots, decided to fix an eye rivet that came off a long time ago, I remembered I had some in my sewing kit so I did that. Don't know if it will hold, but it's worth a try! Settled down to an intriguing Spanish movie about a woman who has to survive a month in a ship container floating in the ocean, giving birth, and a whole lot of other survival stuff. Tense but inspiring! Ready for a shower and bed soon. Good night, darlinl'! Love you!
