i miss our old cake days to the fire departments every 19th,.... but this cov ruined that-
last night -- was like we went back 10 years... i had 2 phone calls about a bird in th barn......i wish anyone even thinging of calling would get in the comment column and talk to others... AND GET EVERYONE'S CONCENT BEFORE YOU CALLLLLM. certainly there are times when you should call...let me list a few...
the barn is on fire...
A WALL IS FALLNG DOWN....
someone has fallen and they are not getting up...( ANNIE)
A HORSE HAS A FOOT IN A H AY BAG ( TAXI)
AN EQUINE HAS A TINY HOOF POKING OUT HER BACKSIDE( BIRTHING DONKEY/HORSE)
OTHER THAN THAT... THE BARN IS CLOSED ABOUT 7pm -- AND EVERY ANIMAL HAS ENOUGH WHATEVER TO GET THEM THRU THE NIGHT AND MOST LIKELY , I HAVE GONE TO BED AND ARE COUNTING ON ENOUGH SLEEP TO START AGAIN THE NEXT DAY..
APPARENTLY LAST NIGHT AN OWL WAS IN THERE... I HOPE HE CAUGHT A RAT FOR HIS DINNER.. WE HAVE MANY HEALTHY GRAIN FED RATS-- AND THE OTHRE WILDLIFE IS IN CHARGE OF KEEPING THE NUMBERS TO A MINIMUM....

BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE HAD A WRY NECK... BUT I SURE HAVE ONE NOW. EVEN THO I DID NO LIFTING YESTERDAY
-----
THE STUDENTS WERE HERE-- 3 OF MY ROCK BUILDERS-- AND THEY CARRIED STUFF AROUND... THUS EMPTYING 2 SMALL ROOMS WHICH HAD BECOME GATHERING PLACES OF AMAZING THINGS... YET TO BE SORTED BY THE DUMPSTER....
I HAVE NOT YET LOCATED MY CORN KETTLE-- ABOUT A 24 INCH WIDE AND HIGH CORN COOKING POT--- OVER OPEN FIRE... FAMOUS FOR THE DAY I aKED 2 DOGFESTERS "THING 1 AND THING 2......." TO START A FIRE UNDER A POT OF CORN... AND TOGETHER THEY BOTH LOOKED UP "HOW TO STRT A FIRE" ON THEIR PHONES... WHICH PROMPTED MEATCUTTER STEVE TO TELL THEM HE STARTED FIRES WITH DRYER LINT STUFFED IN AN EMPTY TOILET PAPER ROLL... -- WHICH IS WHY I GET THOSE AT MAIL CALL... -- THAT CORN KETTLE IS SOMEWHERE-- STUFFED ASSIDE BY SOMEONE..-- AND LAST I KNEW IT WAS FULL OFSOME VERY INTERSTING CHESS PIECES... ALOT OF THEM...
I THOUGHT FOR YEARS I WOULD FIND IT IN THE "ROOM" IN THE TRAINING ROOM... NO T SO.. SO THE LAST PLACE WILL BE THE "CAGES " IN THE ARENA.... THAT WERE LUGGAGE LOCKERS AT AN ASSISTED LIVING PLACE...
-------
ALL THIS UNSHUFFLING OF OU.R STORAGE PLACES.....IS FEEDING A NORTH ANDOVER CHURCH-- WHAT USED TO BE CALLED RUMMAGE SALES.. JUST AFTER I SORT OUT A "PICK OVER PILE". FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS TO LOOK OVER....
AND SO IT WILL BE TODAY... A DAY BY THE DUMPSTER...
