Everything stopped when I left for Mexico. One contractor down and waiting on a bid from the next one. The plumber has been waiting on some progress on phase one, so he is on hold. The bees left, the chickens have had full run of the place except for a visit from the portapotty service and a Mother's Day tour and picnic by Beth and her lovely family. They did gather eggs.
I had a wonderful time in Mexico. I actually let go of everything and even turned my phone off. OK, once a day, I was briefly on line - but not for long!
I am back.
Henry, the plumber, is targeting Friday to begin trenching for a new sewer line. We don't know enough of it's history to assure us that it is worry free, so we are going to re-run it. He ordered pipe today and I lined up Gabriel for Friday and Monday. Henry also will reconnect my water and I can begin to plant things. One of the joys most longed for during this hiatus.
I finally talked to Tommy, who could only moan and groan about what pain he was in (and not offer an apology like I wanted to hear - oh well) I left a message for Jimmy to get in touch. I am planning my time to visit there this week and be ready for Friday. I getting other things in order. And that is all I can really do, except for daydream about the farm. What it is and what it will be.
