Pat got some of the garden tilled, enough so I could get the tomatoes planted. Then we got rain, and hail, but it seems everything made it through OK. It has dried up enough, that hopefully he can get more tilled for me so I can get peppers planted.
The calves are growing like weeds and ornery as ever. My work schedule will be changing (working more morning shifts) so I will put them on OAD (once-a-day) nursing in a couple of weeks: one in the morning, and one at night. They won't like it, but eventually they'll need weaned (Red sooner since he's getting a new home). Hopefully then I'll get some milk as well for ME!
Sunday we headed up to Lincoln to help Kyle unload his couch. We took his dresser up, and he took us out for a late lunch. Wow, the place was packed, even at 3 in the afternoon. My cousin Elaine was there, I hadn't noticed her, so she came over to chit-chat. Was nice to see her!
Jared called, and Chandra posted more "baby belly" photos on FB. So exciting!!
We got 6 turkeys Friday....one croaked within an hour of getting them, and one was "iffy". I told the store, and asked them to save 2 more back for me, I'd be in after work to get them. Low and behold when I got there after work, the dude had sold all of them already. (UGH) The "iffy" one died the next day. So we have 4, and they are kind of stupid. (I'd forgot how dumb they can be). Nothing like chicks.....Anyhow next year I'll just take pre-orders and order the turkeys myself. I think too much transportation without stability/heat doesn't do them any favors. At $8 apiece, it's not like they are a cheap loss! (Yes, I got a refund for my croaked ones).
Now off to work, so I can come home and do chores and more work. ;) My requested 4-day workweek once again morphed into 5 or 6. It makes for looooong days for me, as we are busier at work now, and with normal cow chores, baby chick and turkey stuff, plus the garden......at least the weather has been nice, so it makes working at home more enjoyable! :)
