What Are You Doing Today?

Oak limbs are like gold here for firewood for fireplaces, not burn piles. We do a lot of burn piles though. Small trees pop up all around the property.
I am still working on the sheep run-in and stalls.
Good morning to all-

Mary- How well I understand. I see massive old oak trees which are storm victims here which just are left to rot away. Back in the Ozarks, such treasure would not last a week before the chainsaws would be running and the sawchips flying. Here on the Gulf Coast firewood for heating is unknown. Here, fireplaces are thought to be "romantic."

I envy you your sheep- up north we raised sheep and my daughter is a hard-core spinner and weaver- we could use some more sheep for the wool.

I don't have much going on today- i think I may load up the truck and early-early tomorrow go down to the beach with my fly rod to see if I can pester some fish.

you all be safe and keep well- Ed

I have plans to try a plant based fiber in the future as an experiment. Was going to use nettle but it all went to seed. The weather was so weird. We don't grow flax here.

Early today I had an appointment with my oncologist. My blood test came back very good everything was in tolerance. I asked how long I had left taking the hormone 💊 pill. I was told I would be stopping it at the end of next April, I had to be on it for 2 years. Apparently some people can get away with only one year but my condition was a little more serious. I'm looking forward to being off of them, I feel that the fatigue and the tire feeling I get will decrease or be completely gone.

I'm heading for an afternoon nap I'm completely wiped. After that it will be TV watching.
 
I have been doing some deep cleaning. Vacuuming, dusting, and shampooing carpets. Due to my advanced age and lack of energy, I can only do one thing in each room each day. So, it's taking me a month to do what I used to do in a day. ♫ I wish I was eighteen again. ♫
