Coffee is ready! Hot and dry here, our sand is loose and a foot deep. Have to put the Kawasaki mule in 4WD to get through some places. Drifts of sand blow on the breeze, everything is dusty. We need RAIN! 20% chance of rain the end of the week, sure hope we are not the 80% that gets no rain.

Thanks for the coffee... feeling kind of puny today... DH wants to mow the hay field(s) tonight... hoping all at the same time this go. I get to mow the yard at the farm while he does that. He's also talking about me learning to drive the tractor so he can stack when we bale... Something that I need to learn but.... not sure I can live up to his expectations. :duc
Yesterday was my son's 11th birthday. Time sure flies. Made a german chocolate cake for him, the leftovers are in the fridge.

We need RAIN!
Bring some buckets and come on down. "They" have promised us rain - scads and scads of it over the next few days. Of course, they have lied before - but somehow I think we're going to get it this time. I'm ready for it. All new round bales are covered. Everything I could get mowed is mowed. Bring it ON! (we need some - we've been drought-ish for months now)

We are also getting pretty dry here. Usually we get a rain or two in Sept from a "hurricane or tropical storm" but they have stayed east so far. Temps in the 90's again aren't helping. We are not critical, but some counties are actually into the moderate drought condition. Didn't get the proposed showers this past weekend, about 10 sprinkles, but it was cloudy and cooler. Then 92 yesterday, and supposed to be hot again today. Now maybe 30 % chance of showers/t-storms tuesday. Glad we didn't put any hay down... but if we had, it would rain for sure!!!!

Because he is SUPER picky or are you just not sure you can learn to run the tractor and baler? If the second, you CAN. See this:

If the first, he'll have to decide if it is better to have slightly imperfect help or do it all by himself. And in a few years, you can pass the task on to your son :D. I hope he had a happy birthday.

Good morning y'all. Going to keep 4 year old grand daughter today, she had fever last night. Kept her yesterday.
Today is 20% of rain, 40% tomorrow, 60% for Thursday and Friday. Then 30% for Saturday and Sunday. :fl
Coffee is ready, later I'll have pan sausage and fried eggs.

Up early this morning to try and feed without getting drenched. Didn't get drenched, but did get wet. Mud boots will be a necessity by this afternoon if it keeps up. This NON-tropical system could bring us, in a worst case scenario, up to 15 inches according to the weather liars. At this point I don't expect anything near that. :fl A couple of inches would be welcome.

Super picky.... of course in I ran over the old lp tube thingy last night while mowing the yard at the farm.... 2nd time on the zero turn.... we definitely need a trip to the scrap yard....too many things to mow around...:barnieI don't even like driving with him around...in the vehicle or following in another. I know I can do it just don't want to deal with his 100 comments how it should be done differently and sometimes sh*t just happens....he is better than he used to be. He says I don't take criticism well.... :hu probably don't. We'll see my friends husband is willing to buck bales if need be. Our college boy is in school now. Thanks for coffee, need to get moving chores waiting the DS is getting his braces.
