Still feeling under the weather. If not better, tomorrow a trip to the doctor. Rob here at 8:00 this morning. He and Dave went around and opened corn fields till 12:30. After a quick dinner of hot ham and cheese sandwiches and warm cookies, Rob went out and chopped the stocks of every place they had combined. We ran out of work for him to do, so we left about 3:30.
Chores were ok. Have a heifer that seems extra weak, Dave treated her with calcium and we left her in the barn tonite.
I didn't do much today, trying to get healthy.
Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Where did those
13 day go? I can't believe it is Oct. 14th already and my last post was Oct. 1rst. So much for keeping a daily record of life on the farm. I will start with today and work backwards for as long as my brain can remember (oh boy, I'm in trouble).
Today Rob and Carter pulled up about 8:30. Rob was here to help Dave unload the dryer bin and haul the corn to town. It is always so nice to have the boys here helping when they can! Makes it so much easier for Dave. Mr. Carter had preschool today so I got to bring him in. He did manage some tractor time with Daddy before school. I picked up the upstairs and let Carter get all his tractors and play farm in Adam's room. He thought that was great fun. After the corn was hauled to town we figured the 40 acres by Strand went 150 bu. per acre and it cost about .25 to dry it per bu. Not too bad for the lack of rain we had this summer.
I was under the weather today. Have a nasty ear infection. Didn't sleep much last night. Started antibiotics, hopefully will be my old self soon.
Sunday: Rain in the morning. Adam and Michelle, Cory and Stacy, and Dave watched a movie. I was in a baking mood, made 3 different batches of cookies. Made chicken Fijittas for dinner. They all left early afternoon. I crawled into bed and read a book till I feel asleep. A nap on a Sunday afternoon.......it's a good thing!
Sat: We carved pumpkins. Adam and Michelle got the whole group carving. Was fun. Carter and Addisyn each took a pumkin home. I have 2 in the front. Will take pictures tomorrow. I got my christmas card picture with the 4 little kids together. I promise, will post that too, later.
Friday: I worked in the field all day. Helped Dave haul loads and unload into the drying bin. I do love that job, but I tell ya, by 5:30 when the boys showed up, I was shot!!! Got 40 acres of corn picked.
Thursday: I got Mr. Carter in the morning. Rob worked and Bex had to run in to work, so I got to take him to school. We played about 10 games of perfection, then we had lots of fun playing with play doh. Dinner and off to school. From Wabasso I went right to Marshall. Did a little (very little) bit of shopping, then took Kailin and Betsy's grad. pictures. Got home at 7:30. Ry, Robyn and the kids were here when I got home, so got to play with Addisyn and Griffer for a while. Bed felt good.
Ok, that is all my brain can remember. Time for bed.

A very productive day
Got lots accomplished today. Have been trying to get my house in order. Today I worked on the kitchen, cleaned the garage, baked an apple cream pie, plus cooked breakfast, dinner (chicken nouguts), supper (swiss steak). Today is day 2 of the Southbeach diet. The first two weeks are a lot like Atkins, so is pretty easy for me. I just wish the two weeks were over so I can eat an apple. Ryan and Robyn have the BEST apple tree at their place. Love the apples so much, I have a half a pail left. Will probably bake some more pies tomorrow.
The cop stopped. Had some pie and picked up his CDS.
Dave chiesel plowed till chores time....
Don't really know much else. Going to bed early tonite.
A chance of frost tonite. I hope not, I love those Toe-MO-Natos
