Around about the Farm

A couple weeks ago, Dave, Kiley and I got a chance

to get up to the farm. I needed to get 2 posts for my

hotbed, and Dave was going to check see if there was

a gear on an old motor for the 50-M for Steve.

No gear, we got posts and Kiley got to play without

hearing come back here, get away from the street,

don't climb on that, etc. She's so fearless, she gives

me heart stopping moments most days.

The grass outside my garden, I refer to as my

yard, is growing real well. I need to pick up some

more grass seed and sow it before it's going to

good so it will fill in the bare spots.

Note to self, add that to list of things needed

for gardening.

It was still pretty muddy up there, we had to park

at entry on top by road and walk, but the walk was

oh so good for us all. And little Kiley kept up,

she actually ran most of the way to where all

we went. Didn't run out of steam at all.

We picked up some downed limbs and

twigs from around wagons and W-6, fencing,

and out of the road way. Lots more to pick

up, but with the rains, it's just to muddy yet

to go up and work at farm.

We've gotten a lot done around the house here.

Not as much as I'd like to have gotten done,

but an improvement after not getting much

done in the winter between thaws like we have

done in the past. Course we didn't have thaws

this winter, so really got behind.

The first tractor pull of the 2011 season is

this weekend, and we really are looking

forward to heading south for the weekend

and pulling, as well as seeing our friends too.

Will celebrate our 31st anniversary while there.

What should I ask for this year?
