Now I know that Sunday’s are supposed to be a day of rest, but with the weather forecast for us to have snow – well there’s still a lot of things to get done yet! Daryl had just a little bit more to plow out in the field and wanted to get it done this weekend. He didn’t have too many problems (now you always have to expect some right?) and was able to get what he wanted completed and the machinery all put back into the shed and closed the doors for the season. It almost seems like they get tucked back in for the long winter and get to come back out to the fields again to play when spring comes.
As for me? Well I spent pretty much the whole day in the garden. You guessed it, I was pulling weeds. Now I’ve get mixed feelings about this whole garden thing lately. I mean I spent at least two weekends during the summer just trying to figure out what I actually planted in between all the weeds that grew up around the ‘good’ plants. I spent another weekend trying to just save the tomatoes, and now I’m spending another weekend trying to pull up all the weeds. If there is one thing that I can say about my garden is that it was a complete failure. Yup, I said it.. failure! The only thing that it actually produced was a couple of rotten tomatoes that the chickens ate. And even they weren’t sure that they wanted to eat them! So now here’s my dilemma. Should I go through all this work and problems all over again next year? Well my vote after crawling on my hands and knees on the ground all Sunday is probably not. I think next year I’m going to get some Round Up and put an end once and for all to my weeds in the garden. Well, OK maybe I might just plant a tomato plant and a cherry tomato plant.
I almost forgot.. the photo of the day is our little milk house that’s been painted. Now granted it looks pretty boring, but I’ll add the outside decorations back on again next year in the spring.

Now you would think I would have got enough blocks in one trip right? Not so.
A fresh new coat of paint is all she needed
