I've noticed that, too. Been a quiet week.

I've found a new source for manure, horse, again. I'm going this
morning for another load. Planting season is in the radar and I'm
behind on manure.

I went to my "regular" provider Monday, I've not visited her in 2
years. She's got tons, literally. Problem is that she's made a ramp
and dumped new stuff that's heating on top of all the old, good stuff.
The new stuff is benefiting from me hauling it and getting a good
toss. The pile I'm making is heating up really good. Soon I'll get to
the old stuff.

I'm interested in seeing what the new people's manure pile looks like.
Hope it's some aged stuff, too.

I've got two pigs that need to be butchered, goats going to start
kidding in 3 weeks and that tree planting project I started. Also, I'm
making permanent some temporary fencing and putting in some new.

I'm glad I enjoy all these projects. One thing for sure, I'm not going
to be sitting around wondering what to do for a few months!
