The wind blew the top off the loading area of the grain bin….Terry was going to go up and put it back on.
Not me, I don’t do heights!
Terry has never been frightened by heights, which is why being a lineman for 37 years was a good ‘paying’ job for him.
Blade wanted to see if he could do it….climb up there and snap the lid shut.
He could.
He did.
A chip off the grandpa’s block! 🙂

We had very strange weather for this late in June….very cool, even cold. There was up to 6″ of snow in the mountains 10,000′ or higher. It’s been raining off and on for about two days. Bitter wind (again)!
Last evening the wind grew really strong and blew away all the clouds and the moisture.
As the storm was leaving….
I saw a rainbow framed within the cherry trees!

I’ve finally got my yard weeded. What a job! In between working with Terry on the farm, it’s taken me until 9:30 last night to finally get everything weeded.
It didn’t help that we cut down that tree and I had to do something there
Or the fact I was given a HUGE, DOUBLE HUGE pile of old railroad ties, that I needed to figure out what to do with
Which first had to have all sorts of hardware, nails and wire removed (they were an old corral before I got them)
And I felt like I just HAD to use them….they were really cool
Then I needed to find some more cross-arms. Everything took time. The weeds ran away from me. But finally I did it !
Weed Free! For a short while anyway!
Now I need to reseed the lawn, in places, and get the weeds out of the hedge. But for today, I’m just going to enjoy having this big job done until I have to start again on Monday.
You know weeds just don’t stay away, they will be back.
Happy Father’s Day to all you Dads out there!

Finally we finished up the last of the hay
I finished picking up the corners around 9:00 last night and Terry stacked the last load just before dark.
The irrigation water was set on the hay at 5:00 this morning.
It feels good to have the first cutting done. We sold 60 bales on the first field even before we got it hauled in
I was so tired last night I couldn’t sleep well. Still it’s nice to know rich, green leafy hay is stacked.
Next on the list?…
Cultivating the corn and the beans.
Oh, yes! The beans are up and rowing out.
Life is good

The Gunnison River is flooding! Farms and ranches all along the river bottome are covered in water.
The peak is supposed to happen sometime next week. I know those people waiting for the water to go down will be more than glad.

You ask everyone you know if they have a job or two that you can do to earn money. For his Dad he is helping put in a new lawn at their rental property, for Grandpa its rolling bales so the stack wagon can pick up the bales easier, and for Grammy….its weeding
We found lots of cool things to look at while weeding, worms, butterflies, and a snake skin
Since I have lots of weeds, I hope he stays with me even after he gets his bike purchased.

We woke up to blue skies this morning. What a joy!
