Good Morning!--Chat thread

The tub has a float on it, but it steals my garden water pressure when it's filling! The more cows that drink, the longer I don't have any pressure at the garden! The rarely mess with the floats.
My cows gather at different place for shade, depending on which field they are in. Right now they have the back 80, so they came to the barn and the trees around there for shade.

If they are in the back lower field, they all gather in the shade of 1 big tree? Seems like it would be hotter with all those bodies crammed together? I don't lock them in that field, there is a whole line of shade trees just out side of the gate?

My hose for the garden comes off a different spot than the cows. The garden hose comes first of all the lines.

Cows have their favorite spots and there is no rhyme or reason.

when we was milking we had 3 water troughs with floats on them.an we had to fix a cover over them.so the cows couldnt tear them up.

WRB, that's waaaay too much!
Not going to admit what I did today, your day makes me sound lazier than I really am!

I did attempt turkey hunting this evening!
Got busted by one of my own heifers! Then the bull started over to see what she was freaking out on! I had locked up my good dog before I left, figured if my choices might be shoot the bull or climb a tree, I better just get the heck outta there!

Way too much, I just keep thinking that there's never enough time in a day to get everything done! I still had lots to do after I was allowed to go home!!

There never is enough time in the day to get everything done!
That's why sometimes you just gotta stop and smell the barn yard!
(and try to call in a turkey)

Well, I will admit I did have a little bit of time to sit down and do some reading, as well as have lunch. But other than that it was go, go, go!

Good morning all!

I've been given a few choices, rake, take the camper off the truck, or run errands.
I guess I might be raking today?
