I'm Pooped, but It's a Good Kind of Pooped

What a day! Yesterday I said I had a lot to do today, and, I was able to accomplish all I had planned. I'm pooped. It is fifteen past nine p.m. and I finished working around 8:30 p.m. and I started at 5:30 a.m.

I feel good, though, because I accomplished something. It is kind of like the tired you feel after a good work out. After a full day at work, I came home to milk and feed the animals. My awesome wife cleaned out a space in the barn for the half ton of chicken feed that was coming, while she was doing this I had to build a cover for a pit that is in our solar battery room so we had a place to put the 40 broilers that arrived today in the mail. Then we had to put the chicks in and feed and water them, set up their light etc. Somewhere in all this, we ate supper, then cleaned up all the tools I dragged out. A friend stopped by to pick up the chicks he ordered along with ours. The feed arrived and had to be put up too. To top it all off, I had a sharpening job to do for a gentleman that needs it tomorrow. Whew! What a day!

My wife says this is the life of a farmer. You know, she's right. And I love it!

Good night. I'm going to bed.
