Machine is fixed! My Sweetie is on his way home to me!!!!!! He will call when he gets to the end of the road. Waking me up by coming in the house unannounced is a good way to get shot.

Had to help the neighbor find deer he shot. It ran onto my place, of course in a section of the property you can't get to without 4WD. We found it, less than 100' from where he shot it but in the trees. I do to do some tricky maneuvering on a steep hill with my truck to haul it out. Everyone around me got a deer this season but not me. One more week of black powder season and then one youth weekend left. Unless I want to take up the bow again.

You better get one Red neck or you'll shame your lineage.

We always ask the neighbors if they don't mind leaving the organs for the dogs. Jack and Snows have gotten about 7 deer worth of hearts and livers this year. Their coats are nice and shiney.

Gram always said "Don't let them call you a Hillbilly. We are Oakies!"

It warmed up and we have mud once more. Now it is raining again!!!!!! Being a 3rd gen AZ native I thought I would never say this but....... I AM SO SICK OF RAIN! Long term forecast doesnt hold much hope.

March marks the 15th anniversary of the worst floods to hit Pendleton County in History. There was 3 feet of water in my house that year and we are in the 1,000 year flood plain. Houses in Falmouth were completely underwater. The reason I bring this up is the ground wasnt even as close to as saturated that year as it is now. I dont think it will be a problem. The issue that year was three storms converging dropping 12 inches of rain in a 10 hour period. But when you see the river this high in December, it certainly makes you think about the possibility.

No one close to kidding yet but I am starting to see some udder development. I think Ginger will go first again this year. Hope for twins. She gave me a beautiful single girl last year but I cant keep her if she keeps having singles.

I feel your pain as I'm knee deep in the mud again too.

They are already talking about Spring flooding in my area because of the heavy saturation of the ground. Not looking forward to it.

Yes, I was thinking about giving you a warning yesterday as I saw the clouds go southeast towards you. We are muddy as well. Some of the things I like about winter is the frozen ground. I'm going to try and flatten down some of the hard mud holes made by the Cows and Horses so they or me don't sprain an ankle this winter.

The rain should be here soon. Arkansas already faced their worse flood this year in May. They evacuated our whole town due to the shutdown of I-40 and the possible levy break that would have flooded our whole town, we already are past flood stage, it would be nice if the rain would go awayso we don't have a possible repeat. Have I mentioned I HATE MUD
