Even Andew is "tuning up" to spread the news... Uncle Ivan has a clean bill of health from the last series of test at Mercy Hospital in OKC!!! Whoa Hoooo!! This is great news!! I am sure Aunt Freda and Uncle Ivan are very relieved, as are all of us! ....
Looks like another busy day on the old farm. Yesterday Jake and Grandma Moffat and I helped Marilyn replace a bit of fence that washed out during the "rains of the summer of 2004"! We did get the fence replaced, even with my trying to turn over the Ford! Yelp, all by myself!! Forgot how things work in the mud up here in Payne County after it rains.. like the RED CLAY soil is really slick!! So the tractor ended up with 2 inches of the back tire setting on top of the 4 foot straight down creek. I was even afraid to get in on the side next to the creek. Told Jake and MK there was at least a 60% chance it would turn over. Jake got the John Deere and with DAD reminding me in spirit about using the front end loader to help me as Jake pulled me backwards, we got it out without much of a problem. Just a few heart felt moments, and we owe a big thanks to Dad for "reminding" me! I knew he was in heaven watching over us, this just refreshes my knowledge!
Today, Jake is heading out to cut trees in fence rows, and trim up some, and I am headed to move some replacement heifers to MK's for Mom, and then move some of mine onto the 80 east of Mom's, with some of our other ones. All I know for now.
Will try to take some pictures of the great stand of Wheat on the Kastle Place. One of the best stands I have ever seen, at least in the top 5 in the 44 years I have seen Wheat on it! Judges did good. Guess we never had expensive enogh equipment to grow that kind of wheat, haha! All for now, enjoy the day!
