Taking Advantage of a Nice Day

We have a feeling that our nice days are dwindling down so we're trying to take advantage while we can.  I spent the day cleaning out some of the outbuildings.  I hauled sacks of aluminum cans to town along with empty feed sacks and boxes that had just gotten thrown in the quonset.  Then I tackled our garage.  I've been waiting for help but realized that wasn't going to happen so I dug in.  I threw away some boxes and other junk, moved things around and swept it all out.  It'll probably look good for a week or so.

M has been super busy hauling cows and calves and seeding grass in some CRP for the neighbor.  He attempted to seed some grass near our place, got 6 acres in and got stuck so I guess that project is on hold for awhile.  He's been a bit panicked about getting the seeding done before it gets really cold but should be able to finish tomorrow.  I often ask him if the words "over-extended" mean anything to him.  I did actually hear him tell someone "no" on the phone this morning and was surprised.  Trust me, that doesn't often happen (only when I ask for something).

There are plenty of items still on the fall to-do list so we're really hoping the weather holds out a little longer.
