Does anybody actually read this thing? I feel like I'm talking to myself. Which is pretty normal. I do it all the time because nobody here listens to me either. But I guess that's the life of a mother. But I shall persist.
So first things first. We did catch all of the piglets. And then some got out again. So I went to the local big hardware store and bought a big tarp that covers their whole pen. Before I put it up, I took out the little wooden shelter and put a couple other boards between the top board and the next one down. They haven't gotten out since.
But now I'm having a problem with one of the sheep jumping into their pen when I feed them and eating their food. *facepalm* Tomorrow I'm going to take the sheep back to the other side of the runoff. I've been bringing them back and forth so they can graze both areas. But I'm going to leave them over their until I can get some wire to line the inside of the piglet pen that is also tall enough to keep the sheep out.
I swear these animals are going to drive me inside.
In other news, check out my cotton bolls forming. This is the same one with and without the flash. There are a couple of more on their but not as many as I was hoping. But I'm still getting blooms so we shall see what I end up with.
I also got on the big mower today and mowed around the garden beds. You can't see the garden beds because they are right in the middle of the tall stuff. But they're their. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to get the weedeater out and clean up some of the areas that I couldn't get with the mower. I say hopefully because nothing ever goes to plan.
This is in front of the garden beds.
This is beside the garden beds.
And this is to the left of the garden beds. To the left is the poultry netting where the muscovies now live and the tractor in the bad is where the ducklings are.
I haven't caught the escaped bunny yet. But he's still around so far. I'm thinking of doing the old trick where I prop a box up with a stick and put some food inside it. Attach a string to the stick and yank it out when he goes in the box. I also thought about getting a havaheart trap and setting that somewhere. But hubby says I need to wait. I don't know why. He hasn't responded to my text yet.
As for the transcription thing. I've made $22 so far. Would have been $24 but I went out and mowed so that took some time away from typing. I might try to make up for it tomorrow. But I think they pay monthly. If I can make $30 for 5 days work, that's $120 a month. Not a lot. But definitely enough to buy some fencing.
Most of it sucks because most of the messages are just dead air voicemails. You'd be shocked how many people don't realize their phone is still on. If I had more consistent things to type, I'd be able to make more money. But one nice thing is during those dead air calls, I am able to play on my tablet. So I get to play and make money at the same time. When I get something to type, I just put the tablet down, type it up and the go back to my tablet. Keeps me from getting really bored real quick.
Anyway, I've got ice cream sitting here while I've been typing this and it's probably starting to melt so I better get off of here and.... well, eat ice cream. See you all later and take care.
