thoughts, thoughts, and lots of thoughts

       Every morning the sun comes over the ridge and shines into my eyes. So I crawl across the bed, to get out of the light and end up with no more bed. Where is this rainy or cloudy sky everyone keeps talking about? Have you ever heard someone say something and then watch as time proves them wrong? Bread will never cost a dollar and neither will gasoline that one was Nixon. Health cost will be cheaper with HMO's that was Clinton. Oil will never be fifty dollars a barrel, who said that? So now when I need a pain pill, I'am told that if I buy it from canada the store can't be sure that it is real. That asian man on the cell phone gets his calls cheaper than I do, and he doesn't have roaming or black outs. Why do those people overseas all have cars that I can not afford to buy? Makes a person wonder where this will all end.

       Well it seems someone reads what I write, and I would like to thank everyone for the e-mails. It's true I'am still kicking. We have been busy with the farm and since my wife and I run this place we need to work around the clock sometimes, so somethings get put on hold. We have been baling hay and have a little more than half of it done for the first cutting. We have square barns so we square bale and it takes a little more work. The results are that we control the amount that the cattle eat and have very little waste. We also sold some cattle the a gentleman from Fairmont, who liked the cattle so much he wants any we sell. We raise Limousin cows that we cross with Hereford bulls, so the red-white faced offspring are tall and have large bodies, makes my mouth water everytime I look at them(steaks-steaks-steaks) so we never have any trouble selling any. Only complaint so far is that we don't charge enough. Lots of new babies and chickens (green and brown egg layers) so we've been busy. I'll try to write more, but the weather is changing again, and the hay is waiting for me. Nothing ever stops on a farm, always something to play with.
