Morning Activities -

Trail walk with Marigold,

Put on bug mask and raked more grass

   In east meadow,

Mowed the east meadow the 2nd time,

Worked on digital painting,

Afternoon Activities -

Got a text re hay delivery ($8.00/bale + $50 for delivery),

Cleaned up barn for the new hay,

Cut some branches from driveway

   to make it easier for the truck to come in,

Fleur-Ange called Jake from next door to ask for help

   moving the hay,

Hay arrived about 4:20 p.m.

Jake and one of his hired men did most of the heavy work

   and the hay was stacked in the barn by 4:50 p.m.

I moved only 3 or 4 bales before they took over,

The help was much appreciated as I was tired after

   the few bales that I moved,

Age and my health problems are really slowing me down,

Fleur-Ange & I took the dog around the west field after supper,

I made it only because of a bug hat,

The mosquitoes are really bad right now,

I did not take many photos today due to the mosquitoes,

Also did not do a flower & bird list during the walks.

 . . . Kitchen bird list later . . .
