It has been raining all day. Some days I don't mind the rain at all (it is, after all, rather pleasant to stay inside and listen to the rain outside), but when you have outside chores to do, it would be nice if it would stop for a bit!
I was one bag of feed short for the weekend feedings, so my steers were quite hungry this morning. I ordered more feed first thing, and by mid-morning it was mixed/ground, and ready to be picked up. But it was still raining, raining, raining outside, and me with a truck with no topper! I waited for an hour or so before deciding the rain was an all-day kind of rain; I could hear the steers hollering for their food (they have plenty of pasture, they are definitely NOT starving) and so I drove in to get the feed. I got it home, unloaded it, and traipsed through the rain (and the subsequent MUD) to feed my hungry steers.
Of course the guineas were out of food as well, and their feed was still in the bag up on the porch. So, I traipsed through the rain again, up the hill to the house, and fetched a bucket of grain for them.
And then I drove the truck into the garage, stripped off my wet sweaters, and went back to canning tomatoes!
