Yesterday at the baseball tournament, JW’s team split, they lost the first game but won the second. We got home in plenty of time to work outside, so I finally got all the law mowed. Boy, that makes me crazy when I can’t keep the lawn as nice looking as the widow next door. On our farm, we have two farmhouses and our neighbor is the widow of the farmer who used to own our farm. She is meticules about her lawn and keeps her flower beds in tip top shape. It’s nice, not only because we have a pretty view when we look out our window, but she also keeps me accountable. I can’t let my lawn get long when hers looks so good. Besides, we have to keep the farmstead looking neat for the Sunday drivers through the summertime!

Yes, it’s another Saturday morning and we are off to……a baseball game. As soon as chores are done that is! It’s a little overcast this morning, but it’s going to be a nice day. A great day to mow and work outside. Last night the boys had a game in Pittsford, just a little south of here and they mercied the Wildcats! They got home early, so I had help with chores. Better get to the barn so we can get to the game.

It’s a beautiful sunny day here on the Knolltop. The corn is planted and as I write, the spray coup is going by outside my window. Now I really need to get to my garden! Last evening while I was typing something for my son, Luke, I discovered number one, that his spelling needs some improvement, but the other was his perspective in several areas of his life. He had to write an ABC book with every letter in the alphabet representing something. For example, H was for Holly, his show cow. He went on and on about her winnings in the showring. Another was J was for Jake, his younger brother who was in a tragic accident a few years back and had to learn to walk again. Another was F for football and was actually the insert that was the most surprising. It was with this entry that I learned that Luke loves showing cows more than playing football when wrote that he was not going to play football this fall, instead he was going to take Holly to World Dairy Expo in October. I guess I’d better make some motel reservations in Madison.

Well, the day is almost over. When I get some more typing done, I’ll be able to head to my nice soft bed! As I look over the day, I didn’t accomplish all that I wanted to do, but I managed to get half the lawn mowed, my column written, the cows milked with JW’s help as all the rest of the family was at baseball practice and the heifers didn’t get out. All in all, I’d say it was a pretty productive day especially when you add in the fact that I also made a coffee cake to have with my afternoon cup of Joe. The sun is setting on the Knolltop, it’s time to relax!

I already know this day will not be long enough for all that I want to accomplish, especially since right now, I should be out feeding the heifers and bedding the cows. Today is column writing day too and I promised my son I would help type something for him. Jake is on me about the lawn being too long and ragged, so mowing is on the agenda too. Does anyone else face days like this? Better get on it!

You should always beware when you have teenagers in the house who are savvy on a computer! While I was out watching my two youngest kids at a church program this evening, my relief milkers (the older boys) felt they needed to do some editing to my blog. For those of you who saw the caption with my youngest son’s picture you noticed the insult that my teenage editors thought they needed to add. (I fixed it) There is nothing sacred with these boys! But at least they are keeping Jake “real” which he needs….being the baby of the family.
