Moisture

Why is it the moment I bring the heifers home to calve it decides to get wet around here. Over the weekend we had a little moisture and yesterday it decided to snow a little more again.

It made things miserable and wet around here. I guess the moisture is good so I shouldn't complain but it sure makes calving the heifers tough. The pen I keep the heavy heifers in to watch gets fairly muddy when it's like this which makes it miserable on the animals and me. Not much I can do about it but struggle through though. What a pain.

There are good and bad times, but our mood changes more often than our fortune. Thomas Carlyle

Wow!! Looks like you got some good moisture. We are dryer than a bone here. NOT looking good for the fire season.
Good thing you wrote to The Loser. My Dad was a real cowboy -- he would've loved reading your blog and not having to go out at 5:00 a.m. to feed.

After WWII he worked at the smelter in Anaconda, but always loved telling us about being a cowboy and going out in the country.
I appreciate reading **YOUR** writing!

Yeah, I appreciate it too - what a wonderful life, in spite of the mud and inconvenience.

My Great-Grandpa used this drill when he was on the place. My dad talks about taking a turn behind it too. That was many, many moons ago. Taken 10/13/2005.
