Updates

Well, it's been quite a few days since I've written again; it seems that blogging has been put on the back burner and my priorities have taken over.  That's ok, I guess, because that means I'm actually accomplishing something. :)

We had a full, busy week.  We finished fencing our first quarter of land; CRP came out yesterday (Saturday), so now the cows are free to graze inside the fence.  The cows aren't getting out much anymore, either, which definitely helps keep my stress level low.  The piping for our water tanks was dug in on Thursday; it took a couple hours......they (as in the equipment) knife a trench in the ground, lay the pipe in, and cover it back up.  Then, we go lay the tanks (huge old tires) out; later on, we'll fence off paddocks so we have another rotational grazing system. 

I was supposed to start beets yesterday.  Due to the warm temperatures, that has been put on hold.  Well, the day shift has been, anyway; the night shift has been working, I guess.  This is all okay with me; yesterday, I had to play piano for a wedding in town in the afternoon, so I would've had to leave beets to do that;  today, we had church and family sunday school, and I wanted to be there to do a fun project with the kids.  So, it all worked out. :)

Matt's starting to combine our beans today; hopefully he'll be able to get it done quickly.
Clarence woke up this morning (I was already downstairs starting breakfast), messed around in his room for a while, then came downstairs with no pullup or jammies and holding the clothes he wanted to wear for the day.  It was darling. He's never done that before. What was really cute was the outfit - undies, khakis (nice ones), and a stained t-shirt.  He told me he wanted to be a "farmer guy" today and that he wanted to go outside right away.  I didn't know what he had planned for outside, since Matt was still in the house; they went out together and checked pastures to make sure all the cows were in.  That made Clarence feel better.

Well, tomorrow I start my new job as music and worship coordinator at our church....I hope it goes well and that I'll be an asset to the church;  there are some classes I'll be taking to help benefit me.  I'm glad; I wouldn't really know what to do right away otherwise. 

I also start piano lessons tomorrow.  That should be interesting! :)


Have a fabulous day!
