My Day On The Farm

Today wasn’t all that exciting, but it was ok. I started off the day by making a few phone calls. I did my usual check-in with my mom. She was a little down because she had chosen a headstone for my dad yesterday and cancelled his cell phone. I could hear the hurt in her voice because there is that final letting go that a person has to go through. Bless her heart, she is a strong woman.

I also had to return a phone call to one of my cousins. We talked a long time and it was an easy and flowing conversation. She doesn’t live close anymore and it was nice to catch up.

It started out as a snowy day here on the farm. I think the sun peaked out a little from time to time. My husband, The Farmer, had hay to put out for cattle and had plenty of chores to keep him busy before he headed to town for his factory job.

I took a decent nap this afternoon but woke up kind of sick. I had tried a pin wheel sandwich from Casey’s last night and it didn’t like me one bit. What I thought was a somewhat healthy choice turned out not to be. I think I’ll pass on it next time.

I think I’ll be holding down the fort tomorrow as The Farmer will go in to help his dad with whatever projects he has going on. I imagine there will be some fencing in his future. He’ll stay busy there until dark thirty for sure.

Sunday will be a day spent with my mom most likely.  I do look forward to those days. There is nothing like a good home cooked meal from your mom even if she thinks it’s not much. She mentioned chili and that will be just fine.  It’s the visiting and seeing her well that matters most.

That’s about all I have for today. I hope you’ve had a great day. I’ll check in again soon.
