It’s a windy, cool day here on the farm. This morning was mostly gray, but this afternoon the sun is trying to shine.

It hasn’t warmed up enough, though, to go without a heavy jacket and I almost thought about putting my coveralls on this morning while mixing up, but resisted.

Dan had thought about letting the wood stove burn out, as the last couple days have been warm and the house stayed around 75 degrees.

I made up for it, though, and opened the windows to let the fresh breeze blow through the house. With the temperature topping out at 43 this afternoon, I think he’s glad he kept the fire going.

And we have some excitement around here too!

Today we are finally getting in the field! 🙂

We have some ground that is fit for drilling some oats and alfalfa. This seeding will grow good quality oatlage, haylage and hay to feed our milk cows.

A neighbor of ours (who doesn’t farm) came this morning and helped work the ground. His young nephew also came along for the experience and Reed had a great time riding in the tractor field cultivating with them!

Then he even got to tag along with them into the woods to get a load of wood and enjoyed jumping on the other little boy’s trampoline when they took him home.

When Reed and I took some more seed out to Dan, Reed was ready to ride again! I suspect he will be sleeping in a couple rounds after the busy day he’s had.

When Dan gets done with our field, he will also drill some waterways for a neighbor of ours. Our son-in-law, Jason, will also have some oats to put in this weekend.

With all the Easter gatherings to attend, they hope to finish up today. Happy Easter Y’all!
