The little towns out here have only outdoor options… it’s supposed to be in the 90s this week…so outdoors should be fine.

After Mass, there was a goodbye meal for Father Zwack, then a heavy short rain happened.

Life is just a bowl of cherries 🎶…it rained about .65 today.  The fruit truck came to town and we picked up some cherries.

We decided to graze out the fields close to us. They were not producing like they needed to, after the herd has grazed it off we plan to replant something with a short growing season.

A very nice crew of Tracy, Ed, Glen, Nadine, Jim, Priscilla, Denyka, Kennedi, and Malachi came to help us work calves today.

My mother, even in her current state, was bragging to Andrew about her yellow prairie rose bush.  My Dad hopes we take some to transplant in our yard.  They sure handle drought well.

82° today, we cleaned 3 rows before lunch.

Inspite of a jailbreak of the heifers last night, we still had time to take the children to the zoo.   Since all work and no play makes people dull we want to make sure we give the kids some outside the farm experience. Through St. Isidore and St. Francis’ help the heifers were located after church and all except one are back in their pasture.  The one left is in our neighbor’s pasture and we’ll have to get her later.

All in a days work.  Another very full, but good Saturday!
