Today...
I (Laura) did something I've never done.
Now saying that.... we all know it wasn't buying or picking up a new animal because I do that all the time 🤣😅. (I love you Josh and am thankful for your patience with me)
Starting in the fall we decided to start a period of rest.... resting the fields (which means drastically downsizing animals). Which then gives us rest from much of the farm chores.
We got rid of all the cows, all but 1 sheep so far....
Josh normally takes all our animals to drop off at the butcher..... because the only trailers I've driven.... have been on our gater....
But they only accept pigs on Mondays.... and Josh has worked weekends and Mondays for about 20 years now..... so he would either have to take the day off.... or .... guess what.... I had to stuck it up and put on my big girl pants and drive the trailer to the butcher.... drop off the pig...drive home and park the trailer.
And....
I AM HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT I COMPLETED THE TASK WITHOUT INCIDENCE!
No one was harmed, the truck was not scratched or dented. The trailer is intact, and it is not parked in the driveway. Its not exactly where he told me to leave it..... but the grass is wet and we live on a hill.... it is close-ish to where he wanted it and he's going to move it to where it belongs anyways.
