It's been hectic around the homestead. Morning is crazy - feed dogs, feed cats, feed barn cats, dogs in, dogs out, dogs in, dogs out.....chickens out, dogs in, dogs out....chickens back in...
I'm on dog duty until Daughter is feeling up to it again. She is still recovering from the removal of her wisdom teeth. She took care of me while I was sick, and now I'm taking care of her. I am using my ice chipper to grind up ice for her. She is still very sore around her jaw.
Unfortunately, she has inherited something I inherited from my mother - can't handle pain meds (nausea). I had to call the dentist. They told me to take her off the pain meds and the ibuprofen and put her strictly on Tylenol. She is not getting sick any more thankfully.
Weekend work resumed, although we were invited to ride to IN for the day, we opted to work. While the guys worked on the barn, I weeded the herb garden and Youngest did the mowing. I was super happy to find mullein growing in one of my flower beds. It's safely transplanted into the last pot I had available. There is hope to have a large harvest of it soon again.
Deep cleaning continues as well - washed down the outside of the stove, top, under knobs, dishwasher, more cabinets, etc. I also took everything off the bathroom door hooks, washed down the door, and washed our winter bathrobes. It was just in time for nice clean robes to take dogs out at the crack of dawn. It's been chilly early morning again.
And for a different cleaning story. . .
. . . update on the barn clean up.
