Early

It seems a little early to me. I had to put my long underwear on yesterday it was so cold and i was damn glad I did. I would have froze to death if I hadn't. Isn't it a little early yet for such a thing in this area? Seems like it to me. It's cold enough this morning I am leaving them on.

UPDATE: It was more than cold enough this morning. We had what I would call a hard frost. I've seen light frosts this time of year but it seems a little early for such a hard one. Can't complain though. Fall is here and I love it.

The boss just came back from feeding this morning and said that it frosted fairly hard here. That will dry the corn that we are chopping even more but hopefully, it killed a gazillion flies.

PS Did anyone catch the TV reporters in North Carolina over the week-end 30 MPH winds and 1 to 3 inches of rain, disaster upon us, and Bush/FEMA wasn't anywhere in site. Wow.

Oh, you wouldn't have froze to death! We had a hard frost & there's snow on Silver Run Peak. September, I love it - there will be some more warmer days. And no sugar beets! That brings a smile.

Bonnie - I hope that it kills a gazillion of my flies, too. But it's not really a farm if you don't have a couple in the house year round.

I miss your temperature information that was on the side of your
former website. Please stick it back over there -->

It was 92 degrees in Houston today and we are just hoping it gets
cooler soon.

I didn't know anybody missed it. I put it back, thanks for the feedback.

Here is a picture of the heifer calves that I sold. My Darling Wife managed to take a few shots while I was busy. Everybody present commented on how framy the calves were and how they are really prepared to gain weight for the buyers. A little more grass and I could have put some more weight on them.
