Yesterday, was indeed an unseasonal day. It got up to be over 90 in the sun. Of course that was the day I choose to fix the chicken pen and coop. The fence post have leaned, and it made the fence lean in right along with it. The chickens learned they could sit on it like a hammock. It was actually kind of funny to watch. After I fixed it up, they all looked at me as if to say "hey, you ruined our nesting hammock.
Along with fixing up the pen, came cleaning and fixing up the coop. They love to make a mess scratching around.
I also cleaned up the raspberry orchard. I can't believe how much hay mulch we had put down. They are budding now, and I can't wait for fresh raspberries.
By 7, I was ready for bed.
Back to the Past
When we bought Cloverleaf Farm a couple years ago, luckily there wasn't many renovations to do. Not any majors one anyway.
We started by doing small things like replacing the ugly plastic lights with 1800's replica lighting. I could not believe anyone would put a fluorescent light fixture in the bedroom. EEee Gads it was horrible. It looked like a space ship getting to land on the bed.
We then moved on to simple projects like wallpapering the ell. I don't think it had been touched since 1930 something. The back of the door was so dirty, it looked like it had been burnt. The ell came out beautiful. It still looks like 1930 something, only with cleaner wallpaper.
We then started the downstairs powder room. We still haven't finished that. It got to be spring, and I wanted to be outdoors in the gardens. I guess we can get back to it now.
Big projects haven't really been started yet. We plan on redoing the kitchen and date it back to the late 30's early 40's.
We have started to collect items from different eras for throughout the house.
