It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood- cool and sunny. About as nice as it gets for December in the PNW.
But we’re ready for it now that we’ve got a cool new hay shelf installed in the shed- courtesy of The Man.
Here is it with the front panel down for hay bale loading
And front panel up for secure storage
A significant improvement from storing hay over on the chicken side of the shed!
And in the repairs category- I spent some time today to giving one of my favorite old woolens some love. This old Bemidji Wool Mills shirt/jacket is my go-to top layer for a outdoor work in all but the most inclement weather, and so does take quite a beating. Frayed cuffs, missing buttons, etc.
First it got a sudsy handwash. Then I secured it’s fraying bits and replaced missing buttons with some cool antler ones I had in the stash.
A neat look I think! All spiffed up and ready for another year of chores 🙂
And.,,, registration just went live for the 2022 WSU Country Living Expo. It will be virtual again this year (spread out over three days – Jan 28, 29, 30), and I am going to be teaching a Basics of Wool Processing class on Sunday the 30th. First time teaching via Zoom- wish me luck!
Nice projects completions. Feels good to accomplish things that make life a little better.
Indeed it does!
