15 October 2009 21:41I did get some sleep, but it amounted to 3 hours broken up in small naps. I did pretty well today, considering that. Now of course I'm worried that I won't get to sleep tonight :)
I have to wake up early to borrow the Jeep tomorrow, because Dar and I have an appointment to see a new farm. Or rather an old farm - like 150 years old. It's for rent, and on paper it sounds really good. It's on the outskirts of Guelph (pronounced Gwelf), which is a very lovely good-sized town that has a granola rep (completely earned *g*), and it's also a university town. Lesbians! Feminists! Jews!
The farm has a large bank barn set up with stalls as well as two very large paddocks. Four bedrooms, three fireplaces, renovated and updated (although how much we don't know). It's about 35 minutes from where we're living now. It sounds very workable, and we're excited to see it. I'll be taking my camera, so expect some pics.
Cold and windy and gray around here. The hoses froze and the water buckets all had a good layer of ice on them. Fortunately everything warms up during the day, so we top off all of the water buckets in the afternoon since we can't do it in the AM. I hear that the temps are going to rise in a few days, so we just have to hang in for a little while longer. At least we're not getting that nor'easter that you guys in New England will be getting. Yikes! My brother in CT is getting snow! Way too early for that.
Anyway, time to hit the sack. But first . . . de-cat the bed.
