Cotton Development, New Mower Coming And Solar Lift System

I think this is the beginning of a flower that becomes a cotton ball. This is one of my long strand cotton plants. Hopefully they'll be able to develop before it gets too cold. They sure do seem to be taking their time.

So we bought a zero turn mower yesterday. More than we originally wanted to pay, but also a really good mower. But we're not going to have it delivered until Thursday because my inlaws are going to be in town so we'll be spending most of our time with them.

I did get two of the girl piglets sold the other day. So far the only thing I've bought with the money is these 4 u-posts so I can lift my solar panels off the ground. The grass and weeds were getting really high around them the other day and almost blocking all of the light. So now I'll be able to mow under them and keep the grass and weeds down better.

I also plan on getting some wood to make a pen for the piglets. The rabbits really want their pen back and the piglets are making quite the mess in there.

But that's pretty much it. Haven't been doing much because we've been getting lots of rain. Again. I swear the rain will be gone for days but I won't have the money for supplies or I just won't be motivated to get any projects done. Then the second I get some motivation and/or supplies, the rain comes. It waits for me to put my boots on to head out the door and then..... BAM! Downpour.

I'm actually motivated now to get things done but we should be leaving soon to meet up with my inlaws so I can't do anything until they're gone. Don't want to be right in the middle of rewiring the fence or something and then have to go over to see them.

Can't wait to get this new mower. I am so tired of our property looking like an overgrown mess. Time to make hay! Or at least make a lot of dead grass and weeds.

See you all later and have a good day. Take care.
