Mother Nature - You Are No Friend

It’s a time in this year when all we can do in this household is - shake our heads.

The weather - finally - takes a manageable turn that will facilitate allowing us to accomplish building our chicken coop.

But - Hubby has to go back to work.

His days off will come back around.

And watch.  It will pour down rain - again - as usual.  Maybe even throw down more snow.

We have no choice.

For us - when the allowable weather shows up - we must drop everything else - and cram our list  - as much as we possibly can - down the throat of a single day.

So far - we’ve not been so fortunate.  And it’s frustrating.


We’ve only managed to get a turn of dirt in the garden - which occurred a few weeks ago.  Finally - we just gave up on Mother Nature’s bout with hormones and pruned our fruit trees. Thank God - they’re too young for fruit and their growth is all we need concern ourselves.  We managed to get some junk trees and brush removed from our utility pole and the fence line in the front of our property.

It will be a few more months before we can buy a tractor.  Hence - we’ve had to arrange letting Terry and his parents cut our hay this year - again.  We’ll be getting a portion of bales for the chicken coop and garden this time.

I can only hope we manage to get our planting done in time this year.

More and more - Hubby's comments about having somebody just bulldoze the fence lines for the hay pasture are beginning to win my vote.
