WINDY!!! I think I saw FG19's hat blow through the yard! Jim, if you see a ball cap that says "82nd Airborne" it's mine:laughing:

Mine says, "John Deere" on it!

The "breeze" made it nice out running the 1050! While it has a canopy, the wind is the only A/C! It was a lot better mowing the horse pasture today, than it was other areas yesterday. Only 12 acres left to brush hog. I still have a half acre to push the mower around, as well as a day's worth of weedeating. Hope to get at least some of those done today, while the wind helps keep the temps tolerable.

I'll have to water the garden today. What we got Wednesday soaked right in, and things are dry again. The wind doesn't help in that department. And I rarely water the lawn. That just means pushing the mower around more!

Wow! That's really different from me. I couldn't really cultivate my sugar snap peas and onions yesterday because it was still too wet in that part of the garden. However, I just got home from visiting my new great-grandson and noticed the yard looks dry. I'll mow tomorrow morning and may go right back to watering if the winds aren't too strong.

jinman; The only day that I wore rubber boots was Thursday, after the rain. Was dry enough Friday morning that I could walk anywhere and not get muddy.

I thought I might hit some wet areas when brush hogging the horse pasture today, but never saw mud, and the back of it is very low, and in a rainy season, will stand in water for days. Wished I'd had my camera when I was in the front pasture, to take a close up of how low the stock tank is. I'll have to mow places that should be under 12 feet of water! Sure dont want those super cells, but definitely need rain!

So, how was the visit with the new great grandson?

I thought you'd never ask. Of course I have pictures.:laughing:





I think he's gonna be gettin' a shiny toy tractor to play with soon.

BTW: His name is Noah. With a name like that, you have to love animals and buildin' stuff.

That's a good looking boy there Jim. Congratulations!

Noah is already a very handsome boy! And it is obvious great grandpa is VERY proud!

Tractors, animals and building stuff.....Can't go wrong there!

Jim, you have been blessed again. Yes, shiny tractor toys are a good thing.

Good looking Grandson "JayPa"

Yep, a very fine looking young'un; just almost big enough to be a handful for his great grandpa.

Please don't call the safety police, but last week I was mowing on my rider and put my 30lb 3 year old boy in my lap. He was having a great time until about 40 minutes into the job, he feel asleep.
