I think there’s a lot of different ways to know that the weather is going to change on the farm. I remember one time when Daryl’s relatives were visiting, the flies were biting so bad, I said that it looks like we’re going to get some rain. Now they said that never heard of this, but they did say that when they were going to get an earthquake their dogs get really nervous. At this point, I think I’d take the flies biting wouldn’t you? So today the peacocks were just crazy! They would fly on top of everything and just scream! Even Lucky followed me when I fed the chickens. He would fly on top of the grain wagons and scream and then move to the top of the chicken house. And were they right about the weather changing? Maybe it was just coincidence, but the day ended up with a lot of waves of rain rolling through.
Crazy peacocks today
Lucky just kept following me around today
Daryl spent the afternoon putting away the machinery in the sheds and I would sure give him the ‘Best Backing Award’ if there was one. We had to take down a gated fence to get his new planter in the shed, but he was able to back it in inside with maybe an inch (and I mean maybe!) on each side. There is NO WAY that I could ever do anything like that. Last year I was trying to back a load of hay inside the shed and it was so pathetic and I was getting so frustrated, that I just hand unloaded the whole thing instead. Good thing that it was only a few bales on the wagon, otherwise I wouldn’t have done it. I looked kind of dumb doing it, but I was also so mad that I would have dared the person to come and make fun of me!
Daryl and I went driving around looking at the damage that happened during the storms that went through the day before. There wasn’t a tornado, but there were such straight line winds. These type of winds can be almost more damaging than a tornado. People lost a lot of trees and roofs to their buildings. There was the tin from their sheds all over and into their neighbors fields for miles. It’s just a bad deal.
