The first crop hay was taken off and on many fields there will be no second or third crop. Our spring was so cold that we had trouble with the corn coming out of the ground and now it's so dry that the short little plants are starting to curl up. We have our cows on pasture and the ponds that they usually get water from are so low that we are carting water to them. We will probably have to start feeding them hay this summer instead of waiting until this winter.<br /><br />It takes very special people to be farmers and it takes very Very special people to be married to farmers and to be children of farmers. I think I'd like to be just a little less special sometimes, wouldn't you? <br /><br />Here's to us and our weather worries.

I still remember the first day he had it. When he was hungry at 2pm, he didn't have to have a no-carb snack. Instead I took him out for a huge hamburger, and as he wolfed it down, I sat and cried with happiness. James is now 19 and in college, and he deals with his disease very well. Best wishes to Julia!Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-3664878326623065972009-07-09T07:39:26.376-04:002009-07-09T07:39:26.376-04:00I'm sending good weather Karma to you.
