Sigh. Today the job of fixing up the farmhouse and grounds seems overwhelming. I went to the hardware store and got the part I needed to fix the kitchen sink. I found a business that rewires lamps. Many of the lamp cords are so frayed, you would have to have a death wish use them. As I expected, all the steps to the doors are overgrown with vines. Mice have been in all the kitchen drawers and cabinet, so I had to wash all the dishes and cooking equipment, and disinfect the drawers and cabinets as soon as I got here. The kitchen is beginning to look clean and cheerful. The yard work is slow going. Yesterday was warm, so I gave myself the day off. I spent most of the day on the porch swing with a cold drink and a novel. That's a good thing about farms. If you work most days, you can slack off any day because there is rarely anything that can't wait until the next day unless, of course, you have livestock. Well, back to the trenches tomorrow.
