Day is done, sun is gone...

I got a lot done today, but not everything that I had planned. *sigh*

After I got off the computer, Ken asked for help watering the hops. We got about halfway done when Jac got home from grocery shopping, so I hiked back to put stuff away and make lunch. I unloaded and loaded the dishwasher and washed the counters while I waited for the food to cook.

After lunch, I hung out the sheets to dry, planted a couple of the tomato plants, and got the mail. Then, as I'm planning my next move (probably washing horses), Ken asks if I have any of the pics printed for his portfolio/brag book to take to the Ren Faire. Crap. So the next few hours are spent looking through all of my pics, trying to find pics of stuff that he doesn't have on display that people might be interested in seeing. Then it's a matter of figuring out how to get the computer and printer to communicate properly. During all this, it starts to rain, not much but enough to have me scrambling for the laundry on the line. By the time 8 pm rolls around I'm finally done, and Ken is out the door for Chippewa Falls.

I breathe a sigh of relief, then realize that it's almost time for chores and I forgot to have Ken toss down hay! Crap. So, wearing boots and shorts (I know, bad idea), I head up to the loft to wrestle with bales. I get enough for a day or two, then bring everyone in, distribute feed and hay, fill buckets (I really have to scrub them this weekend), and tuck everyone in. Sketch seemed slightly spooky, but it may have been nothing. I'll check him tomorrow.

Since Jac's at work until 11pm, I had to do dog and cat chores by myself. Not a big deal, it's mostly supplements for the cats to facilitate a head count, and the dogs are pretty easy: some meat, a little kibble and some milk and they're pretty happy.

It's getting close to bedtime, but I think before I go to sleep I'll rough-sketch out the floor plans for the house and barn. I haven't decided if I want to go to the Faire tomorrow or if I want to go to Custer for the Energy fair, or if I just want to stay home and get more done. I guess I'll find out tomorrow!
