Most of my steps were from traversing up the side of a mountain with my dear friend M. The weather was balmy, the fall color was splendiferous, and the conversation was four bars beyond fantastic. Gotta say, a hike with a pal is one of my favorite ways to be active😊 This…generikat in # hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: September 1 2022I most likely had double this amount of steps today, but I didn’t have my phone on me for most of the day. There was a trip to town, all sorts of daily to dos accomplished, and one of the most fun things, hand bucketing 1000lbs of pig feed from a tote to my feed barrels. And then there were the ducks.

Quality day is about the overall awesomeness of the steer.

That’s right, my family is all settled in to the fairgrounds for the week, and if today’s step count is a sign of things to come in activity land then I’m already feeling awesome about that deep fried cookie dough that I’m gonna consume.

And miracle of miracles, I also took a 3 hour nap! Okay, I still took my daily constitutional cow pasture stroll and picked some calendula, but instead of engaging in such activities in an exhausted fugue, I actually was pretty peppy. You see, today I made myself rest. Yesterday…generikat in # hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 11 2022Today could best be described as humid hotness in a hand basket . Even though my step count is a bit on the low side for moi, I still sweated off at least half a saddle bag. Animals were fed, beans were picked, zucchini was shredded, sliced, blanched, and frozen, a couple kittens went to their new homes, and I spruced up Flicker’s Roost (our…generikat in # hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 25 2022It’s getting HOT out here! Not that I mind, I enjoy the summer heat, especially since I’m blessed to live somewhere with 4 seasons😊 That said, even though it’s close to one hundo on the mercury, I still have lots of farming to do and was up early cutting my now fully bloomed lavender.

In fact, my step count was only at around 2500 after dinner, so I decided to take a sedate stroll in the cow pasture to make sure I hit at least 5k steps. Then my parents called. After a lovely long conversation as I strolled through the trees and…generikat in # hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 16 2022Today was a glorious day filled with lavender cutting, weedeating, an evening stroll, and even a sedate swing in a hammock. Yes, I know that’s not actually activity, but I really loved it! The days are starting to shrink in daylight hours and I’m noticing it already. Maybe my animal friends are noticing it too.

It was a hot one today, so I sat on a milk crate and hand weeded in between my plants. Most of my steps, aside from chores were from jogging around the barn yard in my sundress, clutching a chunk of two by four, herding my daughter’s show steer back into his pen because the chonktastic twerp decided to bust out.

I set up a temp hot wire pasture out back where the grass is over my head. They were so cute when I let them out today, and are happily shut back in the barnyard chewing their cuds.

I conducted a jam experiment that went beyond awesome, and then fluttered about doing all manner of to dos.

Most of those steps were of the weedeater on wheels and pruning sheers kind. After the great May and June Deluge we had vegetation overload, but I must say that after today, I have really made a dent in my farm grounds keeping.

I fought a valiant weed whacking battle against the massive amount of rain fortified grass around the farm. Much of it is over my head, so I really had to put some effort in the weedeating department.
