| Our new sign. |
Monday 5/7. JB managed to get all the tires off of MAX, along with the extenders. He then used the tractor to move the small ones to the shop and bring the larger ones out. While he had been taking the tires off, I had been taking the last bags of dog food and chicken feed out of our root cellar. He took the two bags of chicken feed down to the hen house in the tractor bucket. Then he put five of the larger tires on MAX. Now we get to replace the broken axle.
I continued my Spring chore of collecting branch wood and stacking it in the wood shed. There is a lot left on the ground where we felled the 85' dead pine tree last year.
I watched a wren checking out the bird houses. Not sure which one she will choose.
The water in the cistern is almost back to crystal clear now. One of our projects is to pull the float up, so we can fill it with more water. Right now we get about 700 - 800 gallons of the 1000 gallons we could have.
It was another wonderful Spring day with a high of 68.
Tuesday 5/8. It was 54 and partly cloudy this morning. We saw two turkeys walking up our road, but I was unable to get a photo before they disappeared into the bushes. One was a tom, and they announced their arrival with much loud gobbling.
I was on my way Down There at 9:00 am to pick up the part for Miss Kitty and run a few other errands. The temperature was supposed climb to 80, but I was on my way home before it got there. Our high for the day was 68 again.
My Aunt Nene's operation went very well and she should be going home today. She will have a nurse to stay with hour for 48 hours, and knowing her, she will pop right back.
A sudden downpour arrived at about 8:30 pm and it was still raining when we went to bed at 10:00 pm.
Wednesday 5/9. It is 48 this morning and mostly overcast. More rain is in the forecast.
