When I got it going today it had just finished raining for the morning but the sun was out now. I went out and sat in a chair and just felt like doing nothing today so I tried to do that, at least for awhile. I sat around and gave some thought on what I needed to be done around the yard.
Escaping chickens
Some of my chickens have been getting out of their pen and into the yard by going over the roof. They like to climb up that grape vine then they can go where they want. I sat and thought how am I going to stop that. I think the way is to put some fence wire up there so now I have to build some kind of fence posts to do that once I figure out what I need.
They like to escape over this grape vine which they can climb up.
The daffodils are filling out nicely.
Cleaning up this pen
Eventually I did clean out what was left of the raspberry vines from the raspberry plants I dug out of this pen. I don’t really want the raspberry vines growing in this pen as they tend to take over.
I then hauled 4 loads of mulch into that pen and spread it out as I didn’t’ want the chickens in this pen.
Sun shine
I sat around enjoying the sun shine for a good part of the day.
And some work
Later in the day I moved about 6 loads of mulch into the main raspberry patch and then sat around some more watching the chickens do their thing.
When the sun went behind the hills to the west I went in the house for a good nap and that was my mostly do nothing day.
So, your do nothing day didn’t turn out as such. You deserved the nap but still got some things taken care of. :)

Header Pictures
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
So, your do nothing day didn’t turn out as such. You deserved the nap but still got some things taken care of. :)
