Windy Tuesday
It’s really howling. Gusts to almost 50 mph. Sure drying out the mud! But up to almost 60 degrees. Cindy and I ran into town yesterday. Got some flowers and put them on the folks graves. On the way home we stopped over at Red Owl and put a flag on Great Grampa’s grave. HeContinue reading “Windy Tuesday”

We put the calves in a shed andContinue reading “Rain and more rain”

Wet!
Got better than an inch as I write. Cool and a little wind. Went and fixed the rest of the perimeter fence down south this morning. And trimmed Bob. The scissors worked well. Only pinched him a couple times and once he found out it was fairly painless he laid there and took it well.Continue reading “Wet!”
Fencing
Went down south this morning and went around the fence and patched up the bad spots. Not too many considering all the snow we had last winter. Then Cindy rode along and we went to Punkin Center and got mineral and salt for the cattle and had a new end put on the plug-in forContinue reading “Fencing”
