Jun. 12th, 2026 04:06 pmOkay, between journalling, time with cats, having the fence in place, planting beets (formanova, upper field) an actual hot meal that contains all three macronutrients (!!), and another half-dozen hours of sleep today I feel better, though I think I'm sunburnt from yesterday.
Yesterday I snagged the fencing guys to put posts alongside the driveway while they were here anyhow, somewhere I've been meaning to put a fence for a Very Long Time, originally to put in a car airlock so Avallu didn't have to deal with visitors (or vice versa). I didn't get them to put wire up or anything, both for $$ and my plan was to make it so cattle panels can go up when necessary and then come down so I can snowblow everything without fencing in the way. I'm going to rob the panels from the garden for now.
I don't think my house will ever not look like trailer trash. Agricultural fencing down the front driveway!
I realize I have once more forgotten which way the diagonal is supposed to go when you make a gate: low by the hinges to high by the latch, or vice versa.
Today is just for resting and maybe sitting with Robs in the new fenced far back. There's a grove of spruce there with a tree full of cavities and squirrel middens under it that's nice for shade, I could sit while he runs around if he wants to run around. He really does need more time just to himself in the world.
When I get those panels moved he'll have the south side of the house to himself, while the cats will be able to enter through the northwest side.
