Ahh, the familiar fog is here
Yesterday the sun shone through our north window. I don't ever remember seeing sun through this window. Has the earth changed it's axis and they're not telling us?
Yes, the familiar fog is here today. This is summer in Ferndale. At least it's still relatively warm and not drippy. So far.
I managed to get the entire lawn at the ranch mowed yesterday. It's telling that I got the whole entire lawn done in under 1 1/2 hours and basically one tank of gas. The grass has quit growing and there won't be much mowing until the fall, when the rain returns.
It does make it easy to start clearing out areas that were covered with weeds, but the weeds are now dead. It's a good time of the year to clear and sort out new pen areas and drag wood and trash out for the burn pile.
I finally delivered the stanchion yesterday, and in exchange I got 3 magic beans; I mean , a handful of zucchini (yum!!). I am so glad to get it out of the shop. I'm sending the can of paint along too, so they can now be the maintainer of the red paint coat. I have much to learn about painting metal. If I have much more of this, I might invest in an air compressor ( good idea, anyway) and learn about spray painting.
I have comission inquiry about building one or 2 headgates, like cow freestall headlocks. I am working on drawings, estimates, and how the hell to ship something like this..
It's time to start clipping does, of course, NOW the sun is gone. I have a lot of does entered in the fair, and the fair opens August 10th. Yep, next Thursday.
I have one acceptable skein of yarn done. maybe 2. I have 3 entered, but I also have to make a small sample knitted or woven out of each. And I am working on my cheese entries.
Crunch time
