Moving On

Yesterday I got the new mailbox up. I am getting to old for that stuff. My back is killing me today. I am so tired that I have a headache and my eyes hurt. I also cut some limbs and shoveled mud yesterday. I still can't bring myself to move cornstalks yet. The job is just too overwhelming. Not only were the fence posts pushed over some were moved 2 feet or more out of their holes.

I cleaned up the barn a little yesterday. I spread some lime and some shavings. I thought I would let the sheep into the barn for some dry areas, but they had to be rude and got into the duck pen and ate the corn I had left out for them.

Speaking of the ducks they are running wild. They are living in the woods now. I have to send Fly out to bring them back once in a while so they dont forget who I am, the lady with the food. I can't believe a fox or racoon hasn't gotten one of them, but all 6 are there.

I need a wheelbarrow. Guess, I'll have to break down and charge one at Sears. I am broke until the 26th. At least with the wheelbarrow I can move some cornstalks off the fence or what is left of it. I noticed yesterday also that the gate is racked. I keep finding more and more. I noticed this morning that the ditches in the back have taken on a lot of dirt and are much more shallow than they were before the flood.

Well, off to Sears and to see Mom.
