  • Monday, 11/24: Autumn Chores
    • Coyotes were howling to the east and southeast during the morning hours.
    • Mary added hay to the chicken coop floor in preparation for cooler temperatures predicted later this week. She also moved a bag of chicken feed, some grit, and oyster shell to the coop.
    • When I drove the tractor yesterday I noticed vapor coming from the radiator and smelled antifreeze. This morning I checked the radiator and could see liquid, but I added a little over a gallon to fill it. I need to do a better job of regularly checking antifreeze levels in that tractor, because the 8N Ford's engine was obviously overheating, yesterday. 
    • Mary raked leaves and added four wheelbarrow loads to the compost bin.
    • When I walked down to the mailbox, several Bob White quail flew away from nearby cedar trees.  
    • I moved several loads of dry firewood from the machine shed to the woodshed. Then I split the ash firewood logs that were sitting next to the splitter and stacked the split pieces in the machine shed to dry.
    • We watched two movies, which were Trading Places (1983) and The Holiday (2006).
