...I keep relapsing
So many people has this upper respiratory infection thing going on. My problem was I did not take a day or two to rest and finally I got so bad it put me to bed for 4 days.
Prior to trying to get the bed off of my back we did get some work done on the pole barn. I helped Papa Bear with this wall framing and that was it. He has another wall up on the opposite side which I don't have a picture of yet. He wanted that one wall built to help stiffen things up.
We are going to have to go ahead and start on the second floor framing in order to be able to reach the top or else build some very tall scaffolding.
He got one side ready for the siding. We will get that wall framed in after the siding goes up here.
What a blessing this was. This entire load of wood was free! Stepson is painting some new homes being built at the golf course. They were throwing away all of this lumber left over from the job so we took the trailer out and loaded up. It was about as much lumber as we had ordered and paid for! It is no wonder houses are so overpriced. We were told there was about 3 times this much but others had claimed it before we got there.
About 10 days ago I started giving the puppies some food soaked in warm water. They dug into it like little pigs!
This is a photo I took yesterday. They have gotten much bigger. They are so fun to watch as they are running around and playing now. Papa Bear has taken a liking to one of the little black ones so I imagine she may be staying. He calls her Mean Girl cause she barks and growls...hahahaha so I named her Lindsay...you know as in Lindsay Lohan from Mean Girls. Hope I haven't scarred her for life! So I will probably only have to find a home for 2 of them. Two of the little white ones are already spoken for by family members so I will get to see those two grow up!
Almost all of my little seedlings died in the greenhouse. I forgot to ask Papa Bear to keep an eye on them for water needs. I am waiting for the next almanac planting day for above ground crops to restart more. The almanac says the 22nd and 23rd are for root crops. If I am able I may start on the potatoes tomorrow. I crawled around in the Eden garden today and plucked weeds that had sprung up from the hay I had spread. I can't wait until it is a foot deep in wood chips! I hope all of you who are sick with this mess is feeling better soon. I'm praying that it passes quickly. I have a lot to do!
