What’s Going On?

Saturday, September 10th, 2005

So another week is coming to an end. Pretty good one all in all. Finally I think we’re going to chop silage this coming Monday. I’m biting at the bit to just get it over with. We just got back from a town 30 miles to the NW of us. It’s my annual organize a [...]

These Eggs Are Dangerous

Thursday, September 8th, 2005

This morning when I was making my daily country breakfast before five AM I grabbed the egg carton out of the fridge full of our own fresh eggs. Made some pork sausage and was then going to fry up a few cackleberries. For some reason I looked at the carton and started reading what wisdom [...]

Farm Family Strife

Wednesday, September 7th, 2005

Tommorrow will be sharpening the knives in the chopper getting ready for silage chopping Monday.Sure do hope to get it done next week because that would be the end of any major harvesting for this year. What a [...]

Catching Up

Thursday, September 1st, 2005

I don’t know what faze of the moon we’re in but it sure was a different day here. I had more company than you could shake a stick at. Wonder why so many farmers were visiting today. Sometimes we go days or weeks without somebody stopping in. Luckily we weren’t all that busy today.
If [...]
