today----2 adult living places today plus get 4 bales of hay from the back barn at meridith to the back 40 pasture.. the exciting part will be both judy and tina wll be onboard-- with 4 dogs. .. tina is new.. so it will be a trial by fire we might have judy ride in the back with the 4 dogs-- remember no seat,,,, the first place is a day care center in peabody-- seems to be a drop off/ pick up deal.. the second one is ( i think) a live in situation.... the first will be normal-- the second... more fun... as they have their own resident "judy" who keeps the conversation flying-- and she has a license plate on her car ****. K9****.. that is the place where all the staff came out to see the dogs in th parking lot-- and suddenly realized there was no one left in the building..... so it is a bit??? more relaxed???
then somehow get 4 bales of hay to the sheep at meridith.
i was pleased at meridith to see a bright orange monkey fist laying in the tall grass-- i did 2 of those so they would not loose so many scissors/ hay string cutters.... and it works!! all sorts of tools are missing around here--- hammers... fence pliers..6' long crow bars( are only 1 inch tall the other way)--- someone with a metal detector would be a helpful volunteer.
there is a significant logistic problem with sdp going out ... eliz moving in. and me moving over--- and having to throw away an huge bunch of stuff.
there are a few things that might survive for a silent auction-- i have some respectable antique things and some pen and ink ---- mostly donkeys..
a group of volunteers made a good start at clearing the "stuff" out of this house...they worked in the cellar for several hours - i didn't watch that. i did just sit and count the number of storage containers that left the "sun room" which had been donna's "doggie bag" store. with all it variations of mailing boxes and bags.... i stopped counting at 22.. there still is a huge pile in the cellar which they say is just trash and will be picked up by the trash people..
i am trying not to look.. i certainly do not need a thing-- but some of that trash calls to me. at least to put it down on the street????
my significant FYI of the day-- and i have only 10% of the facts.... there is a bird guy now on same channel as DR POL's- he had a show on water in the west--- and how some is more heavily saliniated than the ocean because of the drought and evaporation on the shorelines....plus a thing on the significant IQ of the ravens
got to look up "quoth the raven....Nevermore"
