Well, as you can see I haven't been on here for quite a while. We had a great Thanksgiving with our great family, plus two extras, well three if you count dogs... Anyway- it's already the Christmas month! I can't believe it, though I have had a Christmas tree up and Christmas music since August.
I don't know about you, but I don't like this weather. I mean it's nice, but not for December! It has been nice to ride in it and work with the cattle. Still, I would really like to have snow. Anyone else agree?
We have been doing quite a lot of cattle work lately. We have weaned our calves and now they are on wheat. Thankfully, they will stay there and that will give us more grass for our cows. Sadly, though, there's not much grass because of the drought. Going back and forth from the wheat, we got to see a spot where an air plane crashed. It might have been a once-in-a-life-time thing to see it. The pilot did walk away, thankfully. Plus, on our way back from the wheat, we stopped and got ice cream as a treat.
Just today Dad took us two older kids and drove our two long-horns to a pen. There we loaded up one of them and took them to some different pens. Then we sorted 4 cows and their calves in a different pasture; then took them to a set of pens. We will sell them tomorrow. It was a nice ride, but windy. On our way home, it got colder; we were really glad that we didn't have any chores to do outside. (We took our bottle calves to wheat also.) For the rest of the day, we will be lazy and do about nothing. It sounds good to just sit and relax. : )
