That's been the theme song for my life the past week or so. With J working at one end of our land and M at the other I feel like all I've been doing is running around from north of Glentana to south of Opheim to west of Opheim and back again, to Glasgow for parts and then to the east end. One day, J told me he would need me the next day because he was going to have a couple of short moves to make. Then M came home and told me I would have to go with him the next day to move him back home. I wasn't sure how I was going to be everywhere at once. M had to delay getting to his tractor for while we got J set up for the day. That's when I decided that everybody needed a "buddy" (or two) to follow them around and make sure they had what they needed because I just can't be everywhere and do it all. Then my mother-in-law deserted me after the last rain and went to her house in town--not fair! J finished seeding Sunday night so we have all breathed a big sigh of relief.
That gave me time to go to the graduation of my niece and a neighbor girl and hit one graduation party. Today we had rain so M and I spent the day working on reporting for the Farm Service Agency, our crop insurance agent and the Department of State Lands. I wonder every year why anyone would think it is a good idea to have the government involved in farming (or just about anything else for that matter).
R is home temporarily while waiting for his summer job to begin so has been put to work. I get the feeling he hasn't really missed the farming scene that much.......
