Shopping was a little too successful! We now own a refrigerator that, for the price, had better give dance lessons on the side! We got the 7 fans we needed (no typo... really seven) and a slew of other stuff too.
For days the guys have been working like mad. We are bringing on several extra laborers for a few days to get the grout done. Might as well not burn out all the regular guys on this thankless task, now that Hubby has admitted he is no longer any good on his knees.
It is still looking just wonderful. Mella has stopped by and seems to like it. Those who have seen photos seem to like it. NOW if you come to the punatic party this Saturday, you can make up your own mind. It certainly won't be finished but will be tourable if we are on our best behavior.
The baby pigs are happy and doing well. The three older pigs are just about ready to be groceries; just waiting to install my freezer to have a place to put all that fine pork!
The orchard is holding its own, which it good, because I have neglected it totally for months now. Fortunately, once well established, they pretty much take care of themselves from day to day as long as I keep up the seasonal fertilizing program. Chickens are growing; the babies are now called pullets I guess; teenagers that eat and grow every day!
All is well here on the Ranch. It has a feeling like the end of the tunnel is near, and it is a good feeling. Certainly not everything will be done on the house. We have had to make sacrifices and adjustments because of budget and cost issues but it's all good. After a lot of frogs, I have some real princes working for me and they are doing a fine job.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
