Busy Day - February 11, 2025 @goldenoakfarm

On Tuesday morning I was up at 4:30AM. I’d decided to clean up the tax form and submit it properly. It took quite a while to do. But now I have my own copy and can print it out as needed. Then I got my post up and headed to the kitchen.

I had to finish the convection oven project so my helper friend and I would have room to work. So I finished cleaning it as best as I could and put it back together.

I had a couple other small kitchen chores to do and then I started cleaning the kitchen. He arrived well before I finished. He did a few chores while I was finishing then started watering the house plants.

Some of them had started to wilt so it was past time. He kept on with that while I got laundry started.

Our project for the day was this cabinet. But all we got done was this wall and the cast iron lids cleaned and re-seasoned.

We were sitting at the dining room table and there were 3 woodpeckers on the suet. My helper friend can remember the different ones. I forget what the little one I see all the time is called. This one is the Hairy woodpecker. I thought the other big one was a flicker because he had a tannish belly.

But I think “he” was a “she” because it looked more like the one on the left. It was gone by the time I was able to try for a photo.

I kept at the laundry and read a good deal more of the Change Your Diet book in the afternoon.

On Wednesday I hope to finish the bills/budget before I go to exercise class. I doubt I’ll get much done after, if Monday was any indication. But there’s still laundry and the kitchen to clean up.
