It's been one of those weeks where I could have used a weekend on Wednesday. Last week already feels like a month ago. Amazing how any preconceived notions on how the week's work will go gets thrown out the window before things even get started.
On top of still trying to catch up with various work projects that were put on hold during my working vacation, I had a horse increase my stress-level and rearrange my schedule. In short, the old horse let me know that his body was worn out and it was time to let go. After two and a half years, the pasture looks strange with just the two mares, but I no longer wake up every morning and rush to the bedroom window to count heads in fear that the old guy had something happen overnight (or do the equivalent as I pull into the driveway after work).
With another multi-day rain event in the forecast for the weekend it looks like I do not have any excuses for further procrastination on indoor home projects. I tried catching up on a few last things outside tonight, like transplanting cool season veggies in the "salad garden" and moving the chickens' feeder to where it would be protected from the rain. I thought about refilling the wild bird feeders, but after the effort it took to clean out the finch feeder when the thistle seed got wet in the last deluge I decided that the birdies should just fend for themselves for a couple days.
