Hooray!

We have the 2004 barley off the place. Which means that there will be a check coming in for a change.

“Barley 2005″ is freshly combined and binned. We have a field of oats to go. The hay is ready for second cutting.

I hope to make the time for some blog visiting. All I’ve done (on the computer) the last few days is post photos to flickr. It takes so long on dialup, I just upload and leave the room - or the house - or the country.

Saturday was a long day. I helped with the Pioneer Day Parade. The Baron was at home irrigating. I was on my way home when someone told me that they saw my husband in town. What?! It took me less than five minutes to find him in the big city of Belfry. Even if the population had quadrupled. We met one of his many cousins and stopped for dinner, lunch (or whatever you call the noon meal). We went home, and then took the pickup with tools and fencing supplies out to the hills.

We will be putting cattle here soon.

Flipped the switch, and made sure that water was going to the tanks.

I found a little wildlife to photograph. There were sage hens and doves, too - but the camera was in my pocket when they took off. We headed for home again.

We stopped at the Clark’s Fork for a Pentax moment or two.

By the time we got back it was time to load more grain. We ate supper after nine and went into town for the dance. I left the camera home.
