More chores

We were really busy when my dad was here! Ok, HE was the one who was busy. Marcus has been traveling a lot, and Gemma is so active that it's hard for me to get any outdoor chores done (plus, the indoor chores keep me busy enough!). So we had a huge list of things to do.

We (he) cleaned the mailbox then we all went down to put on the new numbers. Gemma's in the Mustang with Bun.





The pile of wood was from the garage construction 1.5 years ago. Dad moved the good lumber to the barn, and moved all the little pieces to a nut tote for our neighbor. Then he seeded the bare area and covered it with mulch.


He set up a nice chicken home in our far stall...cleaned the pony poop and even braided some bailer twine to make a rope for the feeder. One door was kaput so he tacked up some outdoor plywood to keep the chickens in and the drafts out.


We finally put up the bird feeder from auntie Erica and Carter.


Dad found a bird house and hung that up too.


Meanwhile, the kids kept busy...


First encounter with a mud puddle.


Good clean fun.
