Tired toes...

FFF Photo a Day - Day 158

As our dirty and tired feet will demonstrate, its been a long yet productive day! 

Planted all the remaining plants from the greenhouse and got some progression seeding in between the rains (Thank you mother Nature!).

Mowed the property, trimmed around the house and patio, took down a dead tree by the pig enclosure, weeded the strawberries, did some fencing, took a child into the city for work, dropped off recycling.... even fit in a quick ice cream as a reward. 

All on top of the usual feeding, watering, egg collecting and milking of the various beasties! No wonder we have tired toes! I think a shower is in order!

Everyone loves babies!

Had a super day, which began with visitors to the farm to check out the babies. Chicks, piglets and goat baby were all a hit as usual.

Shared a meal with good friends and then worked hard, getting much accomplished! 

Blood, sweat and tears - and blisters!

 

FFF Photo a Day - Day 26 

This picture is worth a lot of blood, sweat and tears! We used to have a ready source of wood from a relative's wooded lot! All the wood we could haul! It was great!

But now we keep our ear to the ground and listen for talk of clearing trees or lots where we might be able to get some free wood! 

We've been lucky over the past few years and have a good supply of aged wood ready to go. This Thanksgiving weekend we rented a log splitter and split everything we could over three days. 

Felt good to get it done but not so good at the same time!
