Once again, I had a lot of things I wanted to accomplish today but my plans got changed. I was barely done drinking my morning tea when M called to say that I needed to head to Richland because J needed my help to get ready to move his tractor and drill. Off I went to help fuel up the service truck and calibrate the drill since he was switching to green lentils. We took off from town at about 10 am to head 25 miles west. The trip at 10 to 15 mph took roughly two hours. I noticed that traveling at that slow speed gave me time to check out the rock piles along the way. I'm always scouting for that unique rock. Of course, most of the ones I want are too much for me to lift.
L came over with lunch, P brought a pickup, uncle brought a truck, and C had brought over a load of chemical and bags of inoculant and was on the sprayer. We had lunch and then went to where M was seeding and moved two trucks for him. I got home about six hours later. L was hoping to have time to run to town for groceries so we didn't dally.
It was a beautiful day, sunny, warm, very little wind. I planted a weeping willow tree and took the dogs for a walk. We hadn't gotten very far when Pete saw a skunk. He backed off right away but Cruiser did not, and he's deaf so I couldn't call him back. He circled it and followed it and, as a result, stinks to high heaven. I tried to get him in the tub when we got home but couldn't do it by myself so he is banished to the outdoors for the time being and not liking that at all.
I thought my day was done but R didn't have enough fuel in his tractor to finish rolling where he was at . All of the fuel wagons are 25 miles away, so I had to go get him and take him back to town to his pickup. M will have to fuel up his tractor in the morning.
Another typical, busy day.
