I don't have set routine in winter months.
Summers are very busy here. Monday is the day to do planting & cultivating. Tuesday is a market day, so it's up at daylight to get things picked & washed & loaded for 1 PM departure for market.
I get home again around 7:30. Unload the left over produce & store it i9n the cooler. Wednesday is a repeat of Monday, Thursday is a repeat of Tuesday. Friday is very busy, getting everything ready for Saturday market. Saturday morning, out of bed at 4:30. Load the produce & be on the road by 5:30. Arrive at market at 6:15 & start setting up to sell at 8 AM. Home at around 3PM. Usually go out for a nice dinner at a fine dining place. Sunday, never know. Do some catch up things.
This summer was taking care of the hens twice a day & packing eggs. Sold the hens in October & don't plan on getting any again.
I am doing tillage in my fields now. Probably done this week. I have some cabinet jobs to do now.
So never a dull moment here!
