What a blah day

Today just sort of petered out about 2pm, which is when I finally got done watering the hops (I told Ken I would if he would trim Cora and Zora's hooves this morning) It takes about 4 hours. I can't wait until we get some kind of drip irrigation (probably next year) or a small vehicle like a Gator or even a trailer to pull behind the lawnmower, to go up and down the rows. Right now we're using a large tank in the back of the pick-up, with a hose attatched. We have to drive next to the bed and walk across, watering hills as we go. It's tedious and hot and awkward and boring and very inefficent.

So needless to say, I was just beat by the time I was done. I ended up taking a nap around 3, then Jac came home around 4 with a pizza and The Spiderwick Chronicles movie (not bad, really). I cleaned one of my saddles while watching CSI, started the beef stock to cooking (should be ready Saturday evening), did chores, and now I'm heading to bed.

I did play a little with Sketch and Never today, lots of petting and scratching. I played with Alex's feet and scratched all his itchy spots. He's going to be a good gelding: level headed, smart and calm.
