I headed out right after chores and breakfast to the grocery store. What a surreal experience that was; wiping down the cart with Purcell, making wide circles around the other (relatively few) shoppers; entire empty sections in the aisles with quantity limit signs everywhere. There was no bread at all. Fortunately, I know how to make bread so I’ll get cracking on that this afternoon. We bought TP a month ago so I didn’t even go down that aisle. They did have tequila — I see many margaritas in my future. I bought the limit on butter (two packages) and I should have bought flour, but didn’t think of it at the time.
On my way home, I stopped by the corner market to see if they had bread. They didn’t.
When I got home, Brett was busy hooking up the trailer to his truck to go make a hay run. Pistol and Flash are doing great on alfalfa so we need to get more. We only bought a few bales initially because Pistol has a history of allergy to alfalfa. Fortunately, she appears to have outgrown that; not a hive to be seen and calm as can be.
The horses were, ahem, busy as well. Pistol and Flash:

And, in the long pasture, the other three. Lucy was laying down with them — so all five horses were down at the same time which is a major violation of herd protocol — but she got up as soon as she saw me coming with my camera. Guilty conscience, most likely. Not that I blamed them for napping in the sun; its been a long, cold, and wet week.

I can't wait for the warm spring sun!
ReplyDeleteSame here. The sun was out, but it was NOT warm.
