yup late today

i got up early as usual
but got busy early
the township were out trimming our trees.........we don't know why, as there aren't any wires on this side
nor were the trees growing over the road
but they are butchered now.
i was so pissed
maple sap running all over the place now
pine sap too
and we won't even talk about my poor shagbark hickory

i got all the ducks except falstaff out today....... if lilli and phoebe would stop trying to kill each other i could double them up in one of the pens and falstaff would be out
so since he wasn't out today
someone stays in tomorrow
most likely malcom
and falstaff goes out

meanwhile i put a new tablecloth on the table....... don't you all faint but it is a chalky spring green
however due to bernie........i have to cover everything with thick clear vinyl......(yes he ruins vinyl tablecloths too!)
i realized that i need a new piece of vinyl also.
i am slow with everything but something is getting done every day......today i also washed down the outside of the kitchen cabinets

i have this years rough list of projects that i would like to have happen
a storm door on the front it big on the list
more raised beds in the garden
finally getting the BIG duck pen up near the house finished
of course the kitchen (don't you all laugh at that...one year it will be done and i will be so shocked i will stop cooking!)
new patio doors in the studio and a roof over the porch so we can ditch the back door
(back stairs would be nice too huh?)
actually that's most of my big list
touch up repainting the inside of the house is on my list too
i am thinking if we can get half of this list done we'll be WAY ahead
i may have to hire some help.... at least for the kitchen and the deck roof/studio door

today was a productive day but no where near as productive as it should have been
however it was better then a day last month so as the light comes on the days get better huh?
i like productive days
they make me happy to be busy
right now i got supper on
chicken with creamy cheese sauce......rice and broccoli
bernie's home and is sort of overseeing the finishing as that foot i hurt LAST YEAR (remember that april fall?) is doing very poorly
guess i was on it walking up and down the hill a million times with the ducks, and it's unhappy right now
but my elbow is a lot better........as long as i remember not to lift logs and water buckets with that arm alone
oye
i need a big cart or wagon and a dog or goat to pull it
i wonder how much a rotty can pull? they are/were cart dogs right?
ok
supper is smelling good now and i have to go finish the sauce and plate it
have a nice night you folks
