Cold and overcast but not as cold as it was yesterday morning. The water in the hose wasn't frozen.
Chas and I moved two bales of hay into the Hereford's feeder. They were happy to see it. The Dexters also got their round bale and were equally thrilled to get it. I'm making them eat all the ends. Spoiled beasties. Last night both got hay, either an entire bale or part of a bale just to add a little variety to what was left for them to eat.
Chas took the back blade off the tractor and replaced it with the box scraper. That will make cleaning out the area around the barns a whole lot easier since the box scraper is much heavier and doesn't just make piles of dirt on each side of the box like the back blade does, piles you have to keep scraping and scraping to get them into the compost pile.
I forgot to take my vitamin pills and Advil this morning. As a result by evening chore time I was in definite pain from my arthritis. I took my pills after evening chores and a few hours later was feeling much better. I'll wait till bed time before taking my evening pills.
I refilled my prescriptions at Group Health Pharmacy online.
I don't think the ducks much care for the chicken layena I mix in with their cracked corn. They seem to prefer the Country Livestock feed that I give them in the morning. They positively lunge for it when I toss out the goat's leftovers. I'll just buy the cracked corn and mix it with the Country Livestock as I need it. In the meantime I need to finish off the current mixture before I go buying more.
We ate leftover beans and freshly baked partially whole wheat bread for dinner. It's nice not to have to come up with something new to eat every night. I'm getting cooking fatigue, I think.
