@Bruce here's an attempt. Let me know if it doesn’t work...

DH and his dad finished hay just shy of midnight. This means that it’s wrapped and looks like a row of huge marshmallows. I’ll try to get a pic tomorrow. They are gone now to take the wrapper back. We got 43
bales. Really should be getting more.
Fertilizing the hay fields is a priority this year.

I’ve been on my own the last two night with getting kids fed, to bed, then doing chores. I’m winding down now.

Pigs also went to butcher. I’ll get weights and post them.

Wow! I’ve got a lot to catch you up on!!

So pig weights...309,333,346#. Not too bad when aiming for 300#. We sold all but one half for us since we will do more later this year.

I didn’t get a pic of the wrapped hay yet but I did get a few other pics on Thursday that I didn’t realize that I hadn’t shared yet.

Some cows grazing when I went to get DD1 off the bus.

New mailbox that DH put up on Tuesday. He bought numbers to put on it Friday but they haven’t been put on yet.

Raked hay in the front pasture.

Our driveway from the road looking back to the house.


I worked all weekend like usual and I’m beginning to wonder why nurses even do what they do. I did get a very appreciative and polite patient on Sunday that was refreshing to care for and I would’ve enjoyed more if my sinuses weren’t so troublesome!

Saturday DH put out bales of hay to the cows (we keep it out as an option year-round) and took care of some other chores that needed done while my parents watched the kiddos. He then went to a River Bats baseball game with his dad, his brother, and his nephew. They go every year and eat at Hooters before. DS isn’t quite old enough to enjoy the whole game yet and is under the weather right now. (Took him to dr Friday morning and he’s on an antibiotic that covers tick illnesses/bronchitis/and pneumonia. He’s also getting a nightly breathing treatment for the time being and has an appt scheduled with an allergist.)

Sunday was a fish fry at my parents when I got off. Fun family time. Kids enjoyed eating and playing with their cousins.

DH was back into hay today. His dad mowed his farm and his brother’s yesterday. This morning they raked, baled this afternoon and hauled here, then wrapped this evening. Neither area is very large, like about 3 acres each place and they got 25 bales. DH is taking the wrapper back now.

Also picked up the heifer and steer we sold to the 4-H kiddo as the heifer is in heat and Otis will be breeding her. They’ll go back tomorrow night and all three are in a barn paddock for the moment.

Kids played in the blow-up pool and Slip-n-Slide today. I supervised them and brushed out Queenie, Cowboy, and Jewel.

DH’s nephew stayed the night last and played with the kids all day today. His mom and niece shopped today and stopped here when they got back so I had pizza delivered for everyone for an easy supper!

Kids crashed at bedtime!

I mis-read that at first and thought it said "DH isn't quite old enough to enjoy eating at Hooters yet.."

You have a beautiful place there, looks peaceful.
Looks like someone will have some nice bacon and pork chops and ham and .....

Don't get down about those patients who are loud mouthed, ungrateful, inconsiderate and mean. Let those people be who sweeten the grateful patients even more.

My wife works as a nurse as well. She comes home telling me all sorts of different stories about people, what they say and do. She's the type who will smile and try to help calmly, then cry afterwards. I've told her plenty of times that I wouldn't be able to keep a job in her field. I don't take ingratitude well and have a pretty sarcastic mouth when it comes to those people, telling them what they can do if they don't like something. You have my respect as well for putting up with them.
