Another day on the farm: Morning

A rainy, blustery day, with intermittent patches of blue sky. Morning temperature was 55°F.

Morning chores for my father:

  • Fed the family dog

  • Gathered eggs (27 this time)

  • Grained the chickens and checked the water feeders (yes, did that yesterday, too)

  • Put another bag of grain down the grain chute

  • Sorted eggs into cartons for delivery to the store



This afternoon's chores will likely be the same, with more extended chores tomorrow, when the weather is more clear. There's a gate to be taken down for the winter, a section of fence wire from one pasture to be coiled up, an outer door for the hatchway put in place, and a load of hay to be counted out onto the loading platform in the barn.
