One of those days… I woke up crabby and it just didn’t get any better. Cold with a little snowfall, maybe an inch or real fluffy powder… Fed cows with the tractor so i could set more bales down. Stupid piece on the back broke and fell off somewhere, just as it has done before…Continue reading “Grrrrr….”

Grandkids
Cindy and I headed into the Hills yesterday and went to watch Gabe and Eli wrestle. They had some hard matches. Eli pinned on and was pointed on a couple. Gabe pinned one and out pointed one and was pointed on one and pinned on one. Make sense? 🙂 We were sure proud of themContinue reading “Grandkids”
Beautiful day…
Just a breeze and up in the 40’s. Bart came and butchered a heifer for Hope and Chance this morning so I had fresh liver and onions for dinner. Just hauled the cows one bale yesterday and today. Looks like it ain’t going to last too long so I will have to feed more toContinue reading “Beautiful day…”
Bit drafty
Lots of wind and it’s pretty cool out there. I don’t trust this new thermometer but it said we never got over 2 or 3 today. I left the tractor plugged in last night when I fed the cow in the hospital bunch their grain and Chance started it on his way down here thisContinue reading “Bit drafty”
Hatch’s are battened!
Looks like tomorrow at this time we should have 5 or 6 inches of snow and winds picking up tonight and gusting into the 40’s by tomorrow…whee, can you say blizzard boys and girls? 🙂 Delbert and Clint came over and put my tractor tire chains on. Obviously they have had more practice than meContinue reading “Hatch’s are battened!”

Another somewhat wintery day…
Cindy had left her car to get fixed and had been driving the old Ford that i usually spurt about in… but her car got fixed and so we needed to get the other cart home, so I was up before the crow pee’d as Delbert sez’ and I hauled her in to town andContinue reading “Another somewhat wintery day…”
Pic’s from today
Kind’a frosty out there this morning… something below zero. But the team started right up! I lured the cows in with feed and sorted a few more off that show a little thinness so I can feed them better. They are still in great shape, but it’s easier to keep one in good shape thanContinue reading “Pic’s from today”
