Picked up 50# of sunflower seeds for the redbirds & fueled up Mrs. Ranch's Jeep.

Made a lemon cake with lemon icing.

Watered the porch pots & hanging baskets.

It's finally raining!!! Coming down pretty good too (2.01" thus far)!!! We needed it.

Put out another seed block for the redbirds.

Fed the cattle & put out another roll of hay.

Seasoned up 4 thick pork chops that I'll smoke over post oak coals for supper tonight.

Finished shredding the back pastures & then started down in the creek bottom. Almost done shredding for the year...

Went to the grocery store this morning with the kids. Got a mesquite fire started in the pit, going to smoke some pork ribs today. Spent the last few evenings blading the fill dirt. I have a guy coming with a large compactor to compact it.

Still drizzling here this morning...

Refilled the redbird feeders. 'Something' made off with the seed block I put out the other day, I found the cage for it 70' away (on the other side of the garden). I set the trap to catch whatever it is.

Installed 2 more ramdisks in our computers.

Made pizza dough & sauce for tonight's supper.

Made bread.

Continued working on the irrigation system. The valve box is now back in place & I'll allow it to dry overnight before repressurizing it to check for leaks. I also still have about 20' to trench before I can make the final connection to the flowerbed in front of the greenhouse.

Made bread.

Watered the grass around the main irrigation shutoff valve to soften the ground in preperation for replacement of that valve.

Refilled the hummingbird feeders.

Cleaned out the burn barrel.

Seasoned up a sirloin steak that I'll smoke for supper. I'll also make some garlic bread to go with it.
