Oats for the Feedhouse

This morning was quite cold and overcast.  It was supposed to rain today, but it didn't.  We really need a good inch or two rain in the next few days.  The ground is SO DRY!  After chores this morning, I refilled the metal tub in the feedhouse with oats.  I think it took six skidloader buckets, but I lost track.  I was in the zone of scooping oats, driving the skidloader, unloading, and loading again.  It was fairly easy work, though.  I mean, I can feel my biceps growing and the dull pain is very satisfying, actually.  After two weeks, I'm definitely stronger (which isn't surprising at all, but still) and it makes me happy.  After dinner, I helped mom load twelve chickens to take to the sale barn (eleven hens and one rooster).  The rest of the afternoon, I had off, so caught up on projects in my house once again.  Very easy day today.
