Kyle called me this morning.
Yesterday he tried out his nifty roller
that he made out of barrels.
Sadly, it was a fail.
The steel on the barrels was just too thin
to hold up to the beating.
The idea was sound, but he needs to find
a more sturdy barrel. Or something.
So....
fast forward to the next step in the process.
Since he won't be rolling the fields,
he is now ready to spread seed.
And the weather forecast is calling for rain
all weekend long,
so now is the time...
Gina called him this morning with the go ahead
to pick up $4800 worth of bahia grass seed.
That's 80 50-pound bags people!
Good thing his trailer is up there!
We had a nice visit while he drove over
and picked it up.
Then when he got back to the ranch it
started to sprinkle and he was worried about
it getting wet, so he backed his trailer
into his new (but unfinished) building.
It took some doing, since the concrete
guys poured a floor but no aprons
around the outside.
It took his amazing driving skills to get in there.
But, as always, he did it.
When we hung up, he was hoping for a bit of
rain this afternoon so the ground wouldn't be
desert dry before he spread seed...
fingers crossed!
Meanwhile, he hooked up the mower and
was going to head across the street and mow
the land around Linda's new house.
Meanwhile, back at OUR homestead...
Rod found some CALVES!
Well, one calf so far, but the hope of a second
before we pick him up on Saturday morning.
Not sure which one is our's, but he
bought a little Charolais steer calf.
I'm excited to get cows on the property again.
I've missed them!
