Spring IS coming to SD….April
27, 2013. Here are the signs.
**Two nice days in a row, no
wind, mild temps, in the 70’s. Our new
little calves are enjoying these days.
Now the rest of cows need to take advantage of this weather.
**Another sign of Spring…Farm
and Consignment sales. Roger’s Dad loved
going to sales, and Roger has the fever as well. Now if he could just get a job going to sales
for people, bidding with someone else’s dollar….dream job for someone close to
retirement! He has been to 2 sales in the
last two days. I said to him this AM as
he left…”Have fun!” He said, “I will!”
**Yesterday I was in
Mitchell, and while there, went to the car wash, got in line at 1:47. I was 10th in line. I
worked my way slowly to the front, but the line never got shorter than 10 vehicles
while I was there. In front of me, some
town cars (not so dirty as mine) and definitely dirty farm pickups. One pickup (truck to you CA people) was red and the only way I deciphered that was
by the cab of the pickup. The red across
the top gave the color away!! One hour
after I got in line, I was in the car wash.
I got the works, even though our road is still soft, and any little
shower will make driving it a mess again.
But for the time being, I have a rather good looking car.
**Another sign of SD Spring..3
HS graduation invitations, one college grad invite, all in different towns!
**I also took a couple of
pictures of my garden, from the same viewpoint as last week. If you look very carefully in the foreground
you can see the horseradish peeking thru last year’s foliage, and there are also winter onions in
the first raised bed. I can quit buying
onions…we eat a lot of them. The bed behind still is snow covered. Not very exciting yet, I will keep you
updated.
