Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
Thanks Glis. I know it made a lot of great memories and we still enjoy seeing the just married on the back of the wagon. Honestly I’m surprised it hasn’t caught on and more couples in this area haven’t done it. I told my son that’s how I want to go from the church to the cemetery when when my time is up. Only I want a different wagon. Don’t want to scar those memories from the wedding. I want a flat rack wagon. Be easier to load me on.

Thank You Mike especially for the prayers for my sister in law.
It’s been 5 and a half weeks since her first surgery. Almost a week since her last. She has been getting dialysis for the past three days and is starting to show some improvement. She sat up in her chair and has even tried walking with her walker. She is having a hard with it , but it’s still a huge improvement and hopefully the trend continues. We are hoping that the dialysis helps to clean the pain and anesthesia medication from her system as well. They have a very bad side effects for her and with her kidneys shut down she can’t filter them out of her system. I have been texting my brother pictures of our crops trying to give him a distraction. I think it has helped him somewhat but he still wasn’t really chatty. I noticed yesterday that he was much quicker to reply and much more chatty. I can tell he is finding a little hope in all this hopelessness.
Thanks everyone for your support.
Yes thinking back about putting up small squares is probably more glamorous than actually doing it again.lol. The reality kicks in about halfway through unloading the first wagon for me. It does bring back lots of memories from my younger days though.

The feeder calf show was day before yesterday. It was a long day at the fair .
My youngest grandson named his steer after very good friend Cass. Cass passed away a year and a half ago. He was an old timer and a bachelor and he had many friends. My grandkids always wanted him to come to the fair, but Cass didn’t like the fair and he wasn’t going. My grandson said he was going this year.lol
I don’t think Cass liked the fair all that much either. He was a little ornery and didn’t want to stand still. I was pretty proud of my grandson for hanging in there and not giving up. He did a great job considering how ornery Cass was, but he certainly didn’t win anything in showmanship. The judge did think he was a “Power house” of a steer.

My oldest grandson had a holstein steer that was smaller and more cooperative. Wasn’t named Cass either.
He’s really starting to be a good show person. He got first place in his class for showmanship. That’s pretty impressive. He also got first place in his class for goats and rabbits. They all worked very hard on their animals.

Here’s a picture of my dad’s apple tree. It seems my pruning job has been pretty successful.
