Terry worked on the fire road most of the afternoon…. there is one spot that is a huge problem…down a gravel hill that seeps.  He got everything fixed up to that road; then ‘we’ will work on the seep road together.

I dread this road, it’s not bad when all the seep has stopped but until then we have the potential of getting stuck, sliding off, the earth shifting….sigh.

He will be on one tractor and I on another tractor…gradually we will make the downhill slant, then around the curve.  It is the down hill slant where all the problems lie.  But we must work together to keep from an accident or worse.

But not today…or this weekend.  But soon.  Before the fire season starts in earnest!  Sigh!

And no, we can not make a different road in a different spot it must be here, because HERE is where the path of the fires usually take.

We are leaving in 30 minutes to finish loading up the consignment equipment then heading to the sale in Grand Junction.  Gradually, we are getting everything done before the spring work begins.

Hopefully next week we will be able to start laying the last of the transmission irrigation pipe.  It MUST be done before water starts April 1st and it MUST be in the ground before the tractor work starts close to March 10th.  Everything has a hurry, hurry, time is passing feel about it now.

Today it is dark and gloomy with rain or snow or sleet threatening any moment.

Still we must carry on!

Your farm friend,
