Mussies out of the rain.
Until the last couple weeks, all the rain went around us and we were extremely dry. I am grateful for today’s rain, though it put a halt to field work.
We butchered chickens this morning, starting at 5:30, finished about 10, except still have to put stuff away. They are chilling/draining in the cooler so they still need to be weighed, packaged, labeled and inventoried, but we made good time on it today.
Will seed lettuces and spinach in plug trays this afternoon, to put in the cooler so they think it is nice and chilly and happily germinate. Lettuce seed tends to go dormant (for months) at over 70, and spinach won’t germinate well in the 80s and hotter.
I did a lot of catch up on fall seeding schedule yesterday, so am enjoying the cooler excuse and catching up a little on housework, emphasis on “little” since at this time of year the job would be massive.
