Stairs!

 Kyle got busy the other day.

We went to Home Depot to get some wood

and then he built some stairs for his house!

(Since I'll be there alone and he gets into his

house by backing his truck up to the door,

dropping the tailgate, hopping onto the tailgate

and then hopping up into the house. Yeah, NO.)

Pretty good, eh?

He even put a railing on it for me, because, see above.

The neighbor's corn is getting TALL!

We wanted to see how tall,

so I hopped out of the truck and he snapped a pic.

Today, after I finish up some paperwork,

we are heading to the farm so I can "solo" running

the watering operation. And also he can start

hoeing the weeds and I can spread some sunn hemp seeds

as well as some sunflower seeds on the half of the

garden we aren't using this year.

(He plans to rotate between the two halves each year...)

We ordered some "stirrup" hoes (because they look

like a stirrup on a saddle...). They are SHARP.

They should make weeding a little less arduous.

Nobody imagines it will be easy.

Ha.

Anyhow, that's what's on tap for today.

Plus I have to be back here to teach this evening.

Glad to be OFF the morning schedule though!
