It's hot.....

 ....and that's an understatement.  July is here and someone turned the thermostat up.  Way up.  We can do heat, but what we can't do is dry.  We would like some rain, please.  Our corns would like a drink.   We are buckling down here on the farm- praying hard for rain and trying to keep our cows and our dairy farmer cool.      It reminds me of Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam, when he's interviewing "Roosevelt"......so I shall leave you with this.....cuz that's kinda how we feel: "What's...

Fill 'er up!

Like I said before....most of the spring is spent getting ready for summer and most of the summer is spent getting ready for winter.  It's a never ending cycle on a dairy farm (or any farm for that matter).  Always seems like we are trying to stay one step ahead of momma nature....

You think you're hot??????

I'll bet dollars to donuts, you've got nuthin' on these guys! It's "real time" on the farm and this is what is going on....right now.....as I type.  I take it you can figure out that since I am posting this, I am not involved in this fun farm activity.  You'd be right.  I have 2 reasons for not helping:  1) I am an asthmatic.  This- well, it would send...

Healing

Each day gets a little better.  That's what I told Farm Boy Jr Edition when he come home from my dad's house, hysterically sobbing at 11pm on Wednesday night.  He had gone with his Pap Pap to spend the night so they could leave early for New Jersey to visit my sister.   I wasn't sure if I should let him go, but I let him make his own decision.  It...
