The day before my birthday, I saw a large package on my doorstep.
Well, sever me timbers! A battery powered chain saw just showed up on my door step. Thanks so much, Shel. That is exactly the brand I had been looking at, and it was well rated by consumer reports.
I immediately made plans for an exciting day:
Tomorrow, the birthday girl will be:
- using her bale unroller to lay some hay down the hill for the cattle,
- spreading bedding hay around the barn, so the cattle will have a fluffy spot to park their butts
- and learning how to cut up the tree that fell down on the fence in a heavy wind storm.
The Birthday Report:

Those lucky cattle. A comfy place to lie down when it’s cold outside.
