Make, Making, Made a list, or seven

There is nothing I have encountered as long as a Farmer's TO DO list. Even as tasks are scratched off more are added. Some are completed but never scratched off, they instead, are moved to the bottom only to come back round again. And do they come back round. The very next day even.

Fact is there is a daily to do list; a weekly, monthly, seasonal and annual to do list, too. Never shortening, always lengthening. No fear of running out of things to do...no chance to be bored down on the farm.

Farmer Drew and I whacked out a TO DO list or two just this afternoon. For grins and giggles I'm going to whack one out right now:

Feed the chickens.
Feed the ducks.
Check all livestock water.
Collect eggs.
Count goats.
Feed dogs.
Clean nesting boxes.
Wash eggs.
Build Table-saw bench.
Change filter and oil in tractor.

Repair old roost.
Strengthen/repair fence.
Move section(s) of electric fence.
Till ground.
Start seedlings indoors.

Prune berry shrubs and canes.

Scratching the surfaces, folks. This is by no means a complete list. A representation only. Trouble is most of the list components are kept in the head and scrolled strobe fashion across closed eye lids at night.
