A Day to Restore Order

Today, I am going to restore order to our home. It is my second day off in a row, and the better part of yesterday was spent getting groceries and running errands.
  A quiet start today. Got up at 4:15 to make Darling's lunch for work. Then I made some coffee and sat out on the porch.

The sunlight starting  on one side 
The moon still in view on the other side
                       Sunny the steer going over to check out the selenium salt lick, June right beside him.
                               My heifer Gertty
                           June, chilling out

                         Mountains in the early morning



Hearing...

  • An assortment of birds greeting the day with their beautiful songs so sweet
  • Turkeys drumming and gobbling in the distance
  • Hunters, imitating owl calls 
  • Slurping pigs, enjoying their breakfast in the barn
  • The roosters crowing, trying to "out-crow" each other
The air smells so fresh and good.
   
Today's to-do list:

  • Fold and put away laundry
  • Wash and hang out another load
  • Pick up clutter
  • Sweep the floors
  • Dust
  • Vacuum the carpet
  • Give June a much needed bath
  • Work on home office/guest room
  • Start supper
  • Reorganize the pantry
  • Wipe down fridge shelves
  • Write a letter
  • Pay some bills
Tonight's supper:

  • Beef rump roast
  • mashed potatoes 
  • gravy
  • steamed broccoli
  • iced tea
  • cherry cheese cake for desert *yum* lol
Waiting for my purple lilac trees to blossom! I love lilacs, they smell soooo good!
