a tale of tails, tenacity, and tedium, as told by me, usually barefoot and bellowing

The Weekend...


is made for relaxing after a long week of work...not exactly. After hubby and I work all week serving Joe and Jill Public, we should relax. Yes, we sure did!

My grandson had a ball game. Somewhere in this pile is Andrew. We won! One more game and the season is over. Hurray!

Returned from the game to relax. Yes, correct again! Beverly, Marcy and I loaded an entire pickup truck of walnuts. We piled brush, trimmed and burned. We dug and planted.

While we were doing this my hubby cooked a wonderful Gelbvieh roast.
We are going to get the farm done, one inch at time, if it takes thirty years.

Next relaxing weekend project was extending the pasture for the cattle.
This is hubby after we worked all day on driving posts, stringing wires, and cutting brush. Then the cows were too slow-witted to find the hole we cut! We called, we shook the feed sack, we tried to show them the hole but no....There has been a solid fence there for a year and there still was a solid fence in their eyes. Den finally dragged the feed trough over and they got the hint.
They may not be smart enough to read but they finally found the grass. I forgive them because their meat is so delicious.

Next weekend we are going to relax! RIGHT!!!!

It sounds like relaxation is definitely in order! So much work on a farm, I don't think us city slickers have half a clue about the meaning of really hard work! :-)
