Sunshine, Cold, and Barn Roof

What an excellent day today was! It was very cold & frosty this morning, but my friend Carey Murray showed up at 9.00 A.M. this morning to work on re-roofing the barn at 2278 Larsen Lane. We got 1/2 of it completed and a good start on the other 1/2, which we will hopefully finish tomorrow. This job will end up costing about 1/2 of what I had planned.
   While Carey was working on the roof I transferred the hay that was stacked in the pig pen area into the barn where it is closer to my feeding location. Now the pig pen is available to have more pigs raised in it this spring. I also managed to clean out the ground level of the barn and will work on cleaning the loft tomorrow. There was an area in the field where I burned a large brush pile that had a lot of sticks and burned ends all around the burn line. I got that all cleaned up and re-piled so that it can be burned on a foggy morning where nobody sees the smoke and rats me off to Dept.of Ecology again!
   I loaded the green Dodge with firewood while I was over there. I will unload that in the morning before Carey gets here.
   I spoke to my good friend Dutch Savage today and he seems to be doing much better, thank goodness! I am going to try to get up to his house to pay him a visit late tomorrow afternoon.
