Our internet isn’t working today. I am hoping this gets posted, but one never knows.
The water in our canal is clear as the Blue Mesa Reservoir, of which it comes from. Very few farmers are irrigating now—although there are some…new seedings of alfalfa and winter wheat.
By November 1st the water will be stopped and stored in the Blue Mesa Reservoir until next spring. The canal will dry up…if our grandchildren were here, it would make a great play ground.
Today I’m taking advantage of our warm summer-like days and painting the chicken house. We got the pump winterized and the hose put away yesterday, and all the lines blown out. Today I finish getting my last gallon of paint on the hen house and the picket fences.
Terry is working on the corn combine…with the thought corn harvest will start in a month!
I hope this makes it to you! I’m rather addicted to the internet. 🙂
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Since I could read this, your internet problems must be over. I hope you get your painting done early today so you can get back online to see what you missed.

You bet. I had a friend on Facebook say just a little while ago that the friends she met online are some of the most precious people she has never met in person. And it is true. You are one of the precious ones!

Post received! It must have fixed itself. I hate when something happens to our internet connection. …. I think we’re all addicted — but nowadays that is kind of like saying we’re addicted to our refrigerator (for instance) they are appliances we can’t function without these days.

Yes I can’t function. I called the repair people and they said 10 people were out including us.
