A Look Around The House And Barn

We arrived at the farm on a glorious day in early autumn and the first thing I saw was my newly finished barn. It sure looked good:

I parked and walked over to the apple trees for a better view of the barn. I was pleased:

It wasn't just the exterior of the barn they'd fixed. Some rotting walls and sagging beams had also been rebuilt. I was getting ready for cattle:

Up in the hayloft, I had new cross-braces to keep the roof from sagging. I had two new lights with new wiring to allow use during the night:

My old seed cleaner still stood unused and unloved in the hayloft and I wondered again if I could find it a home in some museum. But I also wondered if it would fit through the hayloft door. For now, it'll just have to stay where it is:

We moved into our little farm apartment where the dogs quickly made themselves comfortable. In truth, I was still in much pain from my earlier fall at the Ausable River and wanted to rest also:

Little Clover looked like a queen on her pillow:

Wally, not one to stand on ceremony, just got onto the bed, rolled over and began snoring:

Everyone was comfy and I decided to join them. I needed a nap:

I didn't go any place that Sunday afternoon except for a visit with the neighbors, whose children asked me how I'd gotten so very bruised and cut. The dogs and I stayed home after that, cooked dinner and went to bed early. But in spite of my sore old body, I was still planning on some sort of the hike the next day. But I'll post about that tomorrow:
