Wow…is the sun ever going to shine? The way it looks - not until I leave for Chicago on Thursday! Which - if you are going with WNAX to Chicago - ask to be on my bus - it will be the fun (yet relaxing) bus! Look forward to meeting all of you coming along!
I spent Saturday working on my new photo studio. It was the really not fun stuff like comparing prices on internet, deciding how much I am going to charge, paying bills. I would much rather be taking the pictures! Although I have found some barnwood - but too wet this weekend to go get it and hang it on the wall!
Sunday was the really fun day! I feel bad for leaving for 5 days to Chicago and not having time to help on the farm lately (with the new business taking up all my time) - so I said I would help work a set of cows and calves that we were taking to pasture. This was like the 7th set worked…BUT the only one I am going to get in on this spring. So we started pairing up and getting them to the holding pen. It was cold and soggy - but not raining. By the time we got them all through and into the semi - it was a little misty. Wouldn’t you know it - as we left the house from the last minute bathroom break…it started to pour! The cattle were loaded and we were going! There were some nail bitting moments as the gravel roads to the pasture were soggy and the semi did get stuck in the drive way - but we unloaded them in the rain and what a success it was.
But wait - that is not the end of the story! We had to spend the next three hours - IN THE RAIN - checking and fixing the fence around the pasture! AAHHH! Finished around 8pm last night and welcomed a warm shower and lots of covers in bed last night. I don’t feel so bad about going to Chicago any more!
Hopefully this week isn’t so crazy - BUT with the little bit I have been home and the stuff that is growing on the cheese in my fridge - I think it will be hecktic! Vacation…please come!
Have a great week - and sorry for my babbling weekend stories. I just have to tell someone! ~ erin
