Sun, finally!

We woke up to sun yesterday but had a bit of rain, sleet, and snow during the day.  Things are drying out and we have had mostly sun today.  The dogs and I finally got out for a walk which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.  I dug up some prairie flowers and transplanted them to my flower bed as an experiment to see if they'll grow there.  I also dug out grass from around my lilac bushes.  Thought it was a good time to do it with the ground soft and as my sister-in-law said, it would be a shame to waste a " half-decent" day staying inside.

Everyone was busy with something today.  R took the last heifer and her calf to pasture and checked on the bulls.  J tried to spray, but reports it is still a bit muddy in the fields.  M and C took trucks to Harlem to get cows and calves for a neighbor.  He lives near Harlem but bought land that borders ours a couple of years ago.  He winters his cows at Harlem and summers them here.  The first run with the new cattle trailer.

M decided we should take his mom out for supper for Mother's Day along with C and our boys and R's girlfriend who is here for the weekend, so we did that last night.  C's wife and J's girlfriend were both out of town.  M is hoping the weather will be nice and they'll be too busy to spoil us on Mother's Day.  The nearest restaurant is about 20 miles from our house, and it is run by a relative.  We had good food and good company.  I'm not sure the boys understand how much we enjoy being with them.  I hope they enjoy being with us, too.
