It’s always such a good sight when the planter is coming up the road and you know that the last of the crops are in for another year.
Daryl just pulling into the yard tonight with the planter
Daryl was able to get the rest of the soybeans done tonight and what a good feeling that is. The rest of the night it seemed like he was moving a lot of machinery around in our yard. Now I’m really not sure what he was actually doing, but I think he was working on getting some of the stuff more organized and out of the middle of our yard. When he was working on this, he had asked me if I would help him guide the planter back into the machine shed . Now my part of this job isn’t so bad and I’m just saying that if there ever was a backing machinery contest – he’s the guy that I’d put my money on! Then once the planter was tucked away for another year, the combine has to go right in front of everything in this shed. Daryl said when him and his dad were building the machine shed that they never would have thought that it would have to be bigger or taller – but it seems like he’s always looking for room to store stuff.
As for me, I worked in the garden to get it finally worked all up. I was wondering how I would like my new garden tiller and I LOVE it! I had a chance to use it at Ma’s the other day on her flower bed and our reactions were pretty funny. When we first started digging up the dirt with it, it was working really pretty good. We just looked at each other, shrugged our shoulders and said that we both were surprised how well it really did work. Isn’t that funny when something actually works better than you expect, you don’t know how to react! But I got the garden done tonight and this weekend I’ll go over it again and get some stuff planted. I was kind of surprised that the ground was still muddy in some spots in my garden. But tomorrow the weather is supposed to be just as nice (Hurray!!) and it’ll dry it out just perfect to plant. I noticed that I’ve got a lot of that dumb grass that is next to impossible to get rid of in the garden, but I’ll just have to deal with that as the summer goes. But for now – – I’m just excited that the tiller worked as well as it did and the ground is all worked up.
The picture of the day is the little Robin eggs that I found in our apple tree awhile back. I saw that two of the eggs were gone the other day by possibly one of our cats and now I’m thinking that maybe one of the birds in the eggs is trying to hatch. I’m a little worried that it’s taking so long for this little bird to get out, but we’ll see what it looks like tomorrow.
