Terry got the diesel combine fixed…Which is just wonderful!  He thought It was the thermostat…he drilled several holes in the old one, made a new gasket and IT WAS!  He got a load and headed into town around 2:30, making two loads in one day.  I don’t drive the combine or the truck.  I could and would drive the truck but that girl is terribly temperamental….Terry says she is a a girl….I don’t know I could apply the same to guys.

He got unloaded and was back at dark!  UNHEARD OF!!

Gold-Light If every thing holds together…the corn will be done in 7 more days! I’ve looked at the weather charts and it looks like the weather is going to stay nice for at least that long.  Of course it can always change.

Then Tally started draping herself all around the furniture while I was working giving me huge sighs.  I asked her if she was bored and she said she was bored and wanted to go to school.

We called her Mom and she said she could come to school (since she wasn’t contagious) which was good.  I asked everyone to come to supper last night, so they did.  She looked lots better!

My finger is slow.  Like most of you have said I will hit in on everything.  I do.  I wear a finger guard most of the time, but sometimes I take it off and then have to put it back on.  The swelling is down so that is good.

Everyone seems to have found the deer so I won’t post where she is.  There were two deer there.  The one in the hidden pictures was looking at me in the first one, then she was eating.

The other deer was just sitting up on the little hill watching something in the distance.

Deer-1Aren’t they pretty?

Well, today everything begins again.

I hope everyone is doing well I hope to get around and visit each of you sometime today!

You friend on a Western Colorado Farm,

NEW to Us Combine

working-on-new-combine1

Terry bought another combine (bigger/better/diesel), the problem with getting it was getting it home.  The combine lived in Clifton, Colorado 44 miles away from our house, 13 miles of back country roads, 31 miles of BUSY four-lane highway.

After waiting and waiting for a good day, with no snow on the roads, we took off to get it….and I FORGOT L MY CAMERA!!!! L 

I have the photos on my camera phone, but I can’t figure out how to get them off, but that is another story for another time.

Terry D.R.O.V.E.  the combine home with me following with the lights flashing.  It was a four hour trip, averaging a speed of 12 miles an hour.  What a long Saturday afternoon that was. 

There were scary moments when a semi got too close to the combine, a driver of a car decided to flip us off and in general be a jerk, but we made home.

Whew!

(And we have even MORE mud!)
