NO, this is not a recent photo but they are growing like crazy and it won't be long now cause it's in the 70's and sunny and I even mowed lawn yesterday....yep, I said it, MOWED, it's that time already and I like it!!!
All in all it has been a good week here on the farm. Thursday went off without a hitch in regards to our "flow go" that we had such a problem with a while back, and now that we have those couple of hundred extra pigs taken care of we have gotten back to normal with a nice comfortable surplus of sows and a modest 20 to 30 pigs over target per room, ya gotta love it! Steve has been running to keep the mill up AND keep up with selling 4-H pigs, AND keep up with having calvs at home and at least the 4-H and calving is about to wind down or at least to a comfortable level. Terry and Randy have been juggling between getting ready to plant, firing up the new irrigation system and hauling corn and luckily that is going fairly smooth. Ronda is still doing her Perry Mason imitation and juggling end of quarter stuff at the same time and probably could use a hug about now. Marie, Lee and Joe are still trying to build a house or two and even that seems to be on schedule. Eric and Lori finally got their permit from IDEM they have been waiting for so they are moving on to the next step with their adventure and "Baby J" got to play with his first snake last week but it didn't seem to be a big deal to him, all he wanted to do was poke it with a stick (I know a lot of snakes I'd like to do that to), so yep, it's been a good week down on the farm.
And by the way, (I'm not sure what that means) Kim and Susan returned home last week so be sure and give them a "hidy ho" when you see them. And speaking of Susan, I heard it from a very reliable source (Susan) that she has a really interesting tale to tell or should I say a tale to tell of an event that happened to her and Kim but I am sworn to secrecy so maybe if I have aroused the curiosity in enough people and those people pester her enough she will do a Lee and tell on herself at the next round table!!!!
Sorry Susan, Kim labeled me the farm comedian so it's anything for a laugh (but you gotta tell)!

Well, I gotta go fertilize trees. It appears that everyone is home and tucked it for the day and all is well on the farm once again.......:)
