Keeping Busy Here ...

Finally … Plowing the Garden!
It's been a wet spring until just recently. Then it got really hot this week & went up to the low 90's. During this time, we've had the tractor in the shop and were focused on lambing and moving hay with our skid steer loader. The tractor came back on Tuesday and we immediately plowed the garden area before it rained late the next day.
Glenda & the Brush Hog
 Glenda is always nosing around and was fascinated with the freshly plowed garden soil. She even spent time following the brush hog around as the grass around the garden area was mowed ...
We're expecting our neighbor over this weekend to run his tractor mounted rototiller over the garden.
Now the weather will be cooler for a few days, but should be dry enough to do some planting.
Final Load of Hay ...
The next day we moved the last of the round bales of hay before it clouded up for evening t-storms. The farm across the road was raking and baling this season's new hay in that perfect window of hot weather and sunshine.
Steers & Heifers Watching 
My job is to man the gate. The curious steers & heifers were watching and started to meander over towards me when we pulled in for the first load. They quickly lose interest since we don't have a feed bucket!
