02/15/2009 Sunday: Clean Comforters, Potential Helper

The day started off being overcast but turned into snow and rain around the time I came in from my chores.

I didn't get up till after 7:40 this morning. I was tired from our learning session yesterday.

I started the first load of laundry after I did chores and then vegged out till it was time to go over to Mary H's.

I took my two blue comforters over to Mary's and she kindly washed them for me. She has a huge washer. We did Chas's comforter first because he's using it this winter. As my comforter was being washed we dried Chas's so he can sleep under a lovely clean duvet and comforter.

I threw my comforter in our dryer and then folded it up for storage. I also washed and dried a load of work pants, sweat shirts, and my work jacket. I'll have clean barn clothes tomorrow.

Chas and I moved two bales of hay into the Hereford's feeder.

I returned a call from a junior at Pe Ell High School. Apparently Trevor had given him my name and phone number because he needs some work. His name is Gabe and he has worked at a sheep farm in the past. I told him to come over tomorrow at 10am since it's a holiday and we'd try him out. I need the duck pen cleaned and filled with shavings. I may also redo the configuration of their pen.

I tried calling Wally but reached him at a bad time. I wanted to ask him how he sowed his oats and barley. Oh well, I'll call earlier in the day another day. I'll just do a search on no-till drilling and see what I can find.
