Interesting, exhausting day today.

Our well went dry during the night

so no water for washing,

flushing toilets, giving to plants,

etc.

Our drinking water is almost gone.

The cistern in the barn

for the animal’s water is almost dry.

The winter’s hay arrived this morning

so I placed and stacked 100 bales

in the barn while the man who sold

me the hay brought most of it into the barn.

I helped bring in the first few bales.

Fleur-Ange helped move the hay 

from the front of the trailer to the back.

I spent most of the afternoon waiting 

for the water truck to bring water.

I did a short walk this a.m. and another

in the p.m. and have a few flowers to post.
