Day 125. August 27. Monday. Work day on the farm.

Wow, am I ever out of shape for working on the farm. I am so tired tonite. Every muscle is complaining. Bike riding is so easy compared to this.

While Phil did the morning chores, I pulled weeds in the front flower bed. I did that in June when I was here just for fun and when I got here Sat, it was requested that I do it again. I made a dent but have lots more to do.

It was very hot today, prob 90 or close to it and very humid. My clothes were so wet that I had a hard time getting them off. Absolutely miserable weather to have to do hard labor in.

We gathered firewood from piles that had been stacked since two winters ago when I was here. We load the bobcat, then haul it to a farm wagon, and then unload it on the wood pile.

We gather the wood from three miles away. By three o’clock, I was starting to wind down and got slower and slower. I’m really disappointed in myself but I will blame the heat for part of it.

Phil decided that tomorrow’s heat forecast is just too hot to be working that hard so no firewood work. Yeah! I need to recover.

I am so tired that I came straight to bed immediately after our 8:30 dinner. It’s been a long day.
