Active Summary: Today began with over an hour’s worth of writing, a beef pasture check with Padre, checking the Master Blend freezers, watering both gardens, and calisthenic exercises. This was followed by my engaging in Freekend-related activities which primarily included the playing of Path of Exile and the sipping of seltzer water for the majority of the morning. At 11 AM, I removed the pork roast from the oven – a roast that Madre prepared – and I started a couple baking potatoes. Lunch followed at about 12 PM and consisted of pulled pork with homemade BBQ sauce, a baked potato, some garden-fresh salad, and a hefty bit of top-tier watermelon* for dessert. It was a delicious lunch and quite filling, too.
(4:20 PM Update:)This afternoon consisted of more Freekend-related activities similar to the morning’s which, at 3PM, were followed by a brief bout of farm activities. These tasks included feeding bovines and checking them in the field & barn for ailments. I returned to Jacobhouse after having a seltzer-break with Padre in the freezer room, and within my abode, enjoyed a leisurely afternoon.
Final Note: This weekend has been an exceptionally enjoyable and refreshing experience. Tomorrow is going to be busy what with all the impending Master Blend orders and phone calls to fulfill/make, but I do look forward to seeing what people say about the new inventory and improved selection.
*It really has been one of the best melons yet; that’s why I’ve named it top-tier.
