Good Morning!--Chat thread

The rains here have brought all fieldwork to a complete halt. We went to town to do grocery shopping and it's wet out.

Rains have forced me to find batting!
I have the quilt pretty much pinned together!

Now I need to go get some yarn to tie it up!
Can't open the gate, guess it will never get done!

Truth is, I could not come up with the words crochet or embroidery, so I said yarn! Nope don't have any!
I will send the boy to get some tomorrow, if he doesn't have to work!

Did some gardening myself today. Fertilized the herb garden and weeded DM's flower bed. Also: Saved garden from peppermint takeover. (If you have uncaged peppermint, GET RID OF IT BEFORE IT TAKES OVER!!! It is a PAIN!)

Oi was today fun. Had to help with doing BSE's on six bulls (a few Red Angus, but mostly purebred traditional-coloured Simmentals) today; and that wasn't just standing by and watching! And right at the end of the day, last bull to go out was staggering around a bit because the headgate was too tight in his neck (headgate was adjusted as far apart as possible), knocked against one of the kennels in the back and lo and behold that had enough force to pop the gate open and a reg. sized poodle escaped on us, scared all to heck. A couple boys working for the vet were soo close to catching the pup but it got away, ran across the highway, and took off up the highway for a half mile before it ran into the feild. We lost sight of it after an hour of driving around and searching (careful not to drive on any seeded feilds). So either the coyotes will get it or it'll just hole up in the bush until it gets too hungry to want to wait. The vet had to abandon the search after a bit because he got called back to help kid a nanny goat; the kids are way cuter in real life than seeing them on TV or in a picture!

And that's the most exciting things that happened today.

Good Morning everyone !!
How was everyone's weekend? I had a great one. The kids came over on Sat. and we ordered Pizza and played cards. Sunday hubby and I did yard work. Monday we planed on resting, But that went out the door. We had a sunny day, so I did 3 loads of wash. While I was bringing them off the line I notice Reba was mooing alot. Sara-lu started that morning. I told hubby I think she's in heat and looking for a bull. Well back to Reba. I stoped getting the clothes and walked out to where Reba was,Yep Sara-lu was thur the fence, at the end of the yard of the people that live behind us and trying to get thur that fence. WE found the broken fence and got Sara-lu back. It took the rest of the afternoon to fix it. And then my hubby went to the feed store to get another bale of hay. Cause while we were out there, the grass was so dry that I know that they can't graze on it. He was so sweet, He thinks that's why Sara-lu broke out. The grass was greener on the other feild.Anyway he came home with 3x3x8 compress bale. He told me that they said it was Orchard hay? Some kind of alfaph mix. It was for horse, but it got to old for them so they told hubby it was good for cows? And since we have noway to put it under the shed we had to put it out in the feild, Then it decide to rain, I covered it with plywood and the next day we drag it with the truck under the barn so it won't get wet. But the cows have it 24/7 I hope that isn't bad. And last I blanched and put up the veggs.
