The guys have all been busy in the trucks hauling grain, cattle and hay. They've been so busy that C actually bought another truck. He and J have been hauling wheat and J and R have also been helping with the hay hauling. M has done most of the hay hauling and most of the cattle hauling. We have 150+ bales of our own to get home plus 1000+ bales belonging to our neighbor. It will be a busy week for cattle as well since this is the time of year when all the ranchers sell their calves and ship them to feeders. The bad news is we are supposed to have a drastic change in the weather with snow and wind in the forecast this week. We're not ready!!
I have been busy with my job and doing some yard work and getting things put away. I dug out some of my iris bed and thinned and replanted. I have some bulbs on order, but they're not here yet. I really hope the snow doesn't last so I can get them in the ground. It's funny that a couple of things in my flower bed are toasted from frost and some things are still blooming.
M's parents headed south this morning, first to South Dakota to see M's sister and then on to Arizona for the winter. I always hate it when my mother-in-law predicts a change in the weather and then laughs because she's leaving.
It was kind of gray and damp today but relatively warm. I mentioned to M that it would be nice if it were a nice spring day so we had the prospect of summer instead of the six months of winter that are looming in our future.
