Busy, Busy

It's official. Bluebird is a state-licensed low-voltage contractor. After several months of headache and confusion and paperwork and money thrown here and there, we are eligible to put bids in on major projects and pull permits for whatever jobs we win.

I also got our business cards in the mail, and they look awesome. The website needs help, but whatever. One thing at a time.

In the meantime, there has been plenty of work to keep us busy, and it's all I can do to keep everyone fed and clothed and make sure the kids won't flunk out of school. (I am being a little over-dramatic, but it sure feels as stressful as I'm making it sound some days.)

We have been trying to plan a yard sale for months, but it keeps getting pushed back due to weather. Tomorrow looks promising, so Chris is planning to slap it together come hell or high water.

Things on the farm remain. Daisy got so worked up a few days ago when the neighbor's cows and donkeys wandered back into the pasture next to her that she flat-out jumped the fence. I retrieved her some time later after the pack of animals wandered (or was chased) back to their pond. Tired from all the excitement, she plopped down in the shade of a tree and let the livestock graze in peace. She (thankfully) hasn't jumped the fence since, but I expect she will again.

We had one Granny Smith apple grow on our trees this year, and Finley and I ate it today. The skin was covered in black stuff, but the insides were good.

I am sure there is more to write about, but duty calls... Until next time, whenever that will be.
