Things are heating up around here, literally and figuratively. We were hoping for a couple of days away since the haying is FINALLY done! (well, except for the hauling, ugh!). M went to check crops yesterday morning and our slim hope of a day away went up in smoke. He was pretty sure we had some peas that were ready to cut. He and J worked on getting the new combine ready to go and took it to the field in the afternoon and cut 77 bushels, but they weren't quite ready. Maybe in a couple of days.
In the meantime, they will be running around like chickens with their heads cut off getting everything ready to go. The stress is starting to show already as M had words with a salesman who sold him an auger months ago but we hadn't picked up yet and then it got sold again......to someone else. Not happy! Then, he had to have words with the guy who is supposed to be building our new grain bins and hasn't shown up yet. He was in the area but then headed back to the Saco area because that guy "was yelling more" than M was. That's because the office wouldn't give him the guy's cell number. Seriously! They are supposed to be here Monday. It's getting to be crunch time.
The CRP has opened up so we've had lots of calls to do some swathing. Like we have time for that. Actually, R did take on a job to make some money for school.
So it begins.......
