Hump day!

It’s a rare thing to go a day without pictures, but we managed to do so for Wednesday!

We spent the day doing home school and clean up, then we had our Table Top Game/movie night in the evning!

Goat doing goat things.

The phantom photographer strikes again!

A not great picture of some eggs the guinea hens, I think, are laying under one of our bushes!

Additionally, I managed to get the wire run to the breaker box for the bathroom!

With the wire run, I had to get a new breaker to install it. From there, I just need to get the drywall patch installed and finish wiring up the bathroom fan, light, and outlet and I can close out the electrical portion of the permit.
