Well, lets see....

I'm mopre of a night owl since I work 2nd shift now, and I've been sick lately and can't get to sleep right away, so I slept until noon today, then turned on the TV for about an hour while still in bed.

Finally my dogs coaxed me into getting up to take them out, when I noticed I had a voicemail fomr my dad... Apparant;y the cows got out around 9A.M., so I called him to see what was up. Of course he had them wrangled by then so I took the dogs out, then ate my breakfast.

I decided to hook onto the cultivator and see what needed to be done, so I went out to my ollie where I parked it last night from chasing the cows (Oh yeah, they got out Monday evening, Thursday around noon, Friday at midnight, and this morning. I swear one of them has a wire cutters... probably a red one...)

I figure out I need a few things from Fleet Farm so I call up the girl friend to see if she wants to tag along, and of course she does since we havn't had much time lately. I go to Fleet, then TSC, and then take her back home with me. Find out my parents want a good start in the barn so dad can take us out for baling hay last weekend...

Of course I won't object to that so I go out around 6:30 to help do the chores, which I don't do too often anymore since I'm either in bed at 6 in the AM, or at work at 6 PM. We got in the house around 8:30, clean up and go out for dinner to Shenanigan's. I spent a few hours at her house after that, and am now trying to decide if I'll be tired enough to go to sleep by 2 AM.


One of the few leisurly Saturday's I will get this summer..., probably the first and last...

Since 4:00 yesterday afternoon we have baled over 1,800 bales of straw and unloaded over 1,200 of them in the barn, that's with three people and a fourth around to help unload. Straw isn't as much work to bale as hay since it weights about half as much but I'm glad we don't have anymore to do for a few days.

What? you don't have to milk cows yet? That's what always waited for me after a hard day haying. (one of the reasons I now live in Nebraska, "where the calves do the milking and the wind pumps the water")

Funny you should bring that up- that was probably Reason No. 1 for me not reviving the dairy on our place when I grew up. Seems like you can pace yourself to be just exhausted enough to get to the house after haying, but I never could leave enough "umph" in myself to get through milking after all thay haying fun. Always liked the farming, never liked the milking.
