I decided to keep track of everything I did this morning before 9am. Yes, this is typical day. In the summer months all the shoveling/plowing is substituted with fence repairs, mowing, weed whacking etc. Then there are the fun days when you have a sick, cold, bottle fed alpaca, or vet, dentist, farrier visits.
- Let out dogs to potty
- Feed dogs and indoor cats
- Shoveled walk ways and around the car and barn
- Barn chores
- Feed 10 alpacas 5 horses grain
- Muck stalls
- Fill water buckets
- Give everyone hay
- Prep stalls for night chores
- Plowed driveway
- Tended to the coal stove (we heat our house with coal)
- Checked email for any new Farm Store Purchases
- Packed sold items
- Decided to check inventory of all Farm Store Items
- Let dogs out again and played with them so they got some exercise
- Showered got ready for the “day job”
- Went to Post Office to mail out sold items
- Thank you Tim Horton’s I had forgotten to eat breakfast again!
Phew! All I can say is thank goodness I don’t have human kids!
