M woke me up this morning because he was making pancakes and then was going to go farming. When we finished breakfast he suggested that we go push the neighbor's cows into his pasture. They had left them in a small pasture so they could pair up and settle down from the ride yesterday. As we were leaving the house I commented that we hadn't gotten the rain and snow that was predicted. As we got on the 4-wheeler and headed out I noticed a few snowflakes. A few minutes later we were covered in heavy, wet snowflakes. The move didn't take long, but on the way back the wind and snow was in our faces--make that M's face since my face was in his back. I just had on jeans while he had on coveralls. I told him my kneecaps were freezing! Good thing we didn't have far to go. We were both cold and damp by the time we got home, and I took a shower to warm up.
On the way home we stopped to make sure a gate was closed and then went to check the heifers since we were in the neighborhood. We drove the hills and didn't find them but couldn't cross the coulee with the pickup because it was too wet so will have to go around by the road to check the other side of the pasture.
So much for the plan to go farming today. We had a lazy day at home instead, and M whipped up some BBQ beef in the crockpot for lunch. The snow turned to rain, back to snow and then to rain again. Now the sun is shining and the forecast is for sun for a few days now so hopefully the guys will get back in the field in the next day or two.
