I started the day off by splitting some firewood from the huge cherry branch that fell a couple of weeks ago. Then one of the guys that we bought the farm from came by and picked up some of the old flooring and the doors that I had saved. What he didn’t want was taken out near the burn pile. Most of the wood has gone bad from sitting out in the elements for so long. That’s frustrating, but it also feels nice to be getting rid of it.

I went to Kroger for a few items and then returned to prepare a meal in the slow cooker. It took a while due to a lot of chopping. Speaking of chopping, I also bought a bunch of bell peppers that were super cheap. I chopped them up and froze them. What a pain! After that I ate lunch and then returned outside to move more wood around and also move some dirt and rock. The place is really getting cleaned up.

Liz’s friend Susan came over this afternoon and will stay the night. We chatted with her and played with Luke. He was having a lot of fun “falling” backwards on the bed. Dinner was the butternut squash and lentil dish that I prepared in the slow cooker.
