Feeling a Little Fall

This post is just a few bits of things

The latest View from the Milking Stand, taken just today  - about half of the leaves are down already.  There are at least three deer in this picture although it's really hard to see the out there. 

Preparations for the regular deer hunting season have begun and these past few days Kevin's brother Kent and nephew Kellen visited from Wyoming for a special early youth hunt.  Kellen didn't get the buck that he would have liked, but he still was successful and hopefully had a good time visiting Minnesota anyway. We know he learned a little more about that favorite chore that comes after your deer is down. Don't have lunch first.

Kevin and Rollie started to harvest the small field of buckwheat this weekend.  -The swather behaved pretty well (after acting up with some of the other grain) but the crop turned out to have too much moisture in it and the combine got all bound up.  The guys were struggling to dislodge a lot of ground up stems in the bowels of the machine when I happened along. 

I was in there, digging out the silage-like plant material and remarked that Kevin ought to take a picture.  I was thinking a side view of the machine with my feet sticking out the end would be amusing - this is the picture he took instead!

It was pretty cramped in there but we got it done.

The turkeys are within days of  being processed for the freezer.  We have most of them rounded up and jailed in the summer coop now.  They are not easy to catch!

Stray cat Scruff has been making more appearances - usually around milking time.  I am hoping she stays around.

Winky, Tulip, and Daffodil left today for a new farm home in southern Minnesota.  It's always a little sad to see the youngsters move on but we just can't keep them all.

 

As always, thank you for stopping by to read the blog. Until next time, be well friends!
