I’m BACCCCCCCCCCCCCK!!!!! —Thursday, July 17, 2014

Yippee!  I’m back!  The Skybeam repair guy showed up yesterday, did some of this and some of that got out his ladder, climbed up on the roof….stood up there for some time with his laptop.  Made a  sort of ‘ho’ sound.  Climbed back down, went back to the back of his truck, took a little tiny dish out of the back of his truck, climbed back up on the roof…changed the bigger dish this out for the tiny dish thing and BAM!  I had the internet!

YAY!!!

Grain-bin-and-sun

In the meantime Terry got the rest of the alfalfa cut, laying it out in rows to dry.  Now we wait as the green alfalfa turns into protein rich hay.

Depending on the weather five to six days.  Then it will be time to bale and haul the hay.  A man called and talked to Terry for some time about coming down and checking out the hay. He is interested in doing his own baling and, of course, will haul it away.  In other words he will buy the field ‘as is’.  Now that would be nice!

Since today is Good Fences and Gates day over at Teresa’s Place, I thought I would slip in our neighbor’s a mile away from us.  pillarHere is how he fenced off his fields (he doesn’t farm, just owns a farm and rents all the land out).

GateAnd the gate to his house.  (That isn’t his house, its the Gate House….his way back there!)

We did have a small cool down the last three days (just as the Sun Dogs said).  We were in the 80’s—it was real nice.  Today we are heading back into the low 90’s.  94-95* or so.

Stunning-1

Anyway, it’s good to be back.  I’m really far behind on comments and visiting everyone.

Your friend,

For February I Give You

Rainbows!!!

In the east we had a rainbow, then in the west we had

A sun dog! 

I just love seeing these colored lights in the sky!

So far we are starting to have more and more spring like days. 

I’ll take it!

And Then There Were TWO

As I was driving home last night I saw a sun dog

 Again! 

Once I got in the yard I learned that there were  two.

They were right.  That night the temperatures dropped back down to 1*

We topped out at 20* today.   I think I need to get my head around the fact that it is January.
