I had a typical spring day. R picked me up before 9:00 am and off we went to get J moved from north of Glentana to south of Opheim. The normal shortcut we take is a bit wet and muddy and R was pulling a trailer and I had the service truck so we had to take the long way around on the county roads. The county roads are bad everywhere from the winter snow and spring mud with ruts and soft spots. I noticed several "lakes" that aren't normally there and lots of evidence of water washing through with fences washed out and grass hanging on the wires.
We checked out some trails on the way there and the way back to see if we could get the grain truck across. We went back to J and R took the grain truck and flagged J with the tractor to Opheim while I came home and picked up lunch from L. She was going to take lunch to M. It's so hard when they are split up and right now they are about as far apart as they can be. I took lunch to R and stopped in to see my mom for about 5 minutes while he ate. Then I headed to the field to feed J and then C who was spraying while R went to load the grain truck with more lentils for J. When he got to the field with the truck we headed back to his house, picked up the water truck and took it west to leave for C. From there we went back to Opheim, picked up chemical, R took me home and then went to Richland to get more inoculant to take to J. R was maybe going to run the tractor while J took a nap so he could go late tonight, but I'm not sure if that happened or not.
I was home for good about 4:15 and got really nervous when M called wondering what he was wanting me to do, but he was just checking in. J will be making another move tomorrow morning so I may have another day where I run in circles.
