It's the little things

Today totally kicked butt.

First, the camera came back home in the mail. Thanks Lori!

Second, a guy we hired to do some re-grading around the house came today and he totally moved the home/barn preservation project forward a ton. Everytime it rains hard, we have water running into our basement and under the barn, which really stresses me out. He basically re-graded the ground so water will run away from the buildings rather than right into them. I can really see how the work he did today will prolong our structural longevity around here. It is a big relief to have this work done, and I will sleep well tonight, even though it is raining.

Update: Tues. a.m.

It rained pretty hard last night and there are no rivers in the basement this morning. What a warm, dry feeling.
