Day's End

We have come to the end of another busy day here on the farm. John, with the help or our son-in-law Barry, has been cleaning out another of the high tunnels, getting it ready for spring planting season. There's been much to do around here and still a ways to go at that! John and Barry have also been working in the greenhouse, not so much cleaning it out as making repairs to various and sundry things.

One of our cats follows John wherever he goes, and when John heads for the greenhouse, he follows him there and patiently waits outside for him to come back out. This cat we named Baby because he is so small. Big Boy, as his name suggests, is somewhat larger than Baby, and he hangs around more with me. Tag, our barn cat, loves both of us, and "lives" for us to come and give her a good brushing! I believe you could hear her purring from outside the building when she gets a good brushing!

Things are never boring around here! For the past two mornings our neighbor's cows have gotten through their fence and into the back pasture that belongs to one of our neighbors. The first morning I looked out, I couldn't believe my eyes! I am used to seeing deer, but not cows. The cow's owner has a 350 acre farm but I guess they just went AWOL. In any case, within about 20 minutes they had headed back home. The neighbor said they had evidently escaped through a hole and that it was being repaired. Late this afternoon, the deer had returned to the neighboring pasture and to ours as well!

It looks like the temperatures will be moderating here a bit come Thursday and Friday. This will make working outdoors a bit more tolerable. Maybe no 'long john's" if we're lucky! No need to remind me that I complained about the summer heat not so long ago:)

Until I have a chance to "blog" again, be safe,
