Out of Town Grandparents, Out of Town Friends, and More Snow

   We have a seventy percent chance of snow this afternoon. I hope it turns out to be a fair lot of snow, maybe six inches...maybe ;) I sincerely hope so!
    Our Grandparents from California are to arrive here Tuesday, and stay till next Wednesday! I can't wait to see them! It should be a blast! I don't know what we plan on doing with them, but, we will find that out when they get here. My guess would be that we are going to visit my brother and his family, and possibly go antiquing, since they love doing that immensely. We got a visit the other day from some friends of ours from Arizona. We had a nice visit, it has been a while since we have seen them.

Snow and Waiters.

   We got snow last night. Around an inch, give or take. 

Yesterday, our Grandparents took us out to dinner, and while we were there, we had got on the subject of welding, and our waiter asks us "What kind of welder do you have?" The question completely took me off guard. It was a slow night, and we were the only people there, so we talked a while about welding, and agriculture, and cattle. We talked for a good half hour. It was a lot of fun!

Summer

     The winter month seem to be closing in very fast. I'm not sure I'm ready for them yet, or the cold north winds. The other day, I was outside, and this really cold wind came up, and I realized just how much I don't want summer to end.

Lake George

Here are the promised pictures...finally. The morning I hiked up the hill in the back, was cold, and wet. I had to keep cleaning the end of my lens, because the mist was getting all over it. 

When I got down to the river, on the other side of the hill, I spent a good, 30 minutes there. Just as I was stepping back on to the bank, my foot slipped, and I completely submerged my foot. Walking back to the cabin, my foot was sloshing around in water. :P

Pictures

     We have snow!! This morning I woke up to a small, but very wet dusting of snow. The night before, it was all foggy, and any lights that were on, looked like they were shooting up into the sky. It was so cool! 

      I have all the Lake George picture post processed, so I should be posting those soon! Here are a bunch of old photo's I had piling up.

Picture of the Day

     Boy, time flies! It is hard to believe that a whole year, is almost past. We finally repacked our camping tailer, now that we have returned the bull. It was awesome to get the garage back again, so I could weld etc. 

Here is the picture for today!

Flooding

Here are the picture of the flooding, that I took, while I was in the Springs 

Rain Rain Rain!!

     Rain Rain Rain!! And lots of it!!  This last week we were up in Lake George, and we were receiving tons of rain! On our drive down, through the Springs, fountain creek, wasn't exactly, a "creek" anymore, more like a raging river. I'll post those pictures soon. 

Here are the pictures for today.

Buckin' Bales

      Today was quite full! This morning, a friend of ours, who works at a place that sells hay, came over and asked if we could work today, and we happened to not have anything to do today. So we headed out to pick up a bunch of bales. The lady who had ordered them from another company, wasn't pleased with the hay quality, so we went and bought them off her hands. We had a big long goose neck trailer, and we slowly started to fill it up. We stacked them six high. 

      The lady was very talkative, and a very nice lady. We got about 250 bales in about 3-4 hours. We took turns throwing the bales up and stacking them, so as not wear one person out. And being allergic to hay, it wasn't the best day, so all the while, I was sneezing etc. 

       When we got back, we unloaded all the hay onto some pallets. Luckily we had more help, so it got done a lot faster than when we loaded it. Just as we were finishing stacking all the bales, it started to rain, heavy. So we quickly ran and got some tarps to cover it. The wind was blowing pretty hard, so that didn't help with the managing the tarps, but we got it done. By the time we got into the barn, out of the rain, we were soaked! When we got home, we changed into some nice, dry clothing. 

Here is the picture for the day.
