We have had a busy week. Sister Foy has been making spread sheets for Agreserves, and though I’m not much help with the typing and entering, I’ve been helping go through the dozens of books onto various farms and helping find the info. I also was able to scan the needed info to a thumb drive, so we worked through it! I prefer being outside, so while Pat was setting it all up, I painted the outside of a weighing station the guys finished putting a roof on. They also helped finish paint the black trim work on the building, so I will go over and touch up the “oopsies” the next dry day we get. We have been getting some actual rain lately!
Steve and Elder Foy have also been working on big sign boards, where they will be posting safety signs for the various farms. I also helped paint them when Pat was working on her office help. I’d much rather be outside! They put up signs saying, ‘watch out for heavy equipment’, even ‘mud on road’! I asked why they needed that, as it’s quite obvious! They said a young man was riding a motorcycle on a farm, slipped on mud, was killed, and the family sued the farmer that owned the land for not posting there was mud. And they won! So, this is to protect ourselves. If it’s listed, we don’t have liability! Steve and Elder Foy also went to repair a fence at a farm this week, because someone broke through, and people have been “fly tipping there. Any guesses on what that means??
We saw a sign for “no fly tipping” when we were in Preston a few weeks ago. Found out, it means “No dumping rubbish”! 😊 Clever name! Haha! I love all of the fun words I’m learning.
The guys have also been making signs to place at the 6 ponds around various farms, stating the water is deep, keep away. Steve also found orange life preservers and ropes to place on the signs, in case of accidents. Again, liability. They look pretty good though! It’s a big deal digging the post holes though, as there is a lot of clay in the soil. They come home pretty tired. Speaking of clay in the soil, in our back yard, where they are renovating the old barn into two apartments (flats) to rent, they dug big holes for sewer/water etc, and I got some clay and made a little pot! Just to see if I could. It’s great clay!
We also had a fun Relief Society get together the other night, and they made food with a ‘Fall Harvest’ theme, and it was great! Best part was getting to know the sisters in the ward. They are good women, with the same concerns we have everywhere, but they say it with a cool accent!
We didn’t venture out this rainy weekend, but stayed home and listened to conference. It is on at 5-7 pm, and second sessions 9-11pm, both days. We watched the women’s session Sunday afternoon between the other sessions, rather than staying up till 1:00 am to see it live! They were great though! We even stayed awake through them all! Love hearing our dear prophets speak, and all of the other inspired general authorities. We are hastening the work for sure, and there is still much to do. What a great time to be alive!
