Life on the farm is kinda laid back...................

It is dry enough for us to get back into the field, so yesterday I grabbed the camera to have in the truck as I was pulling tanks. This is what I've been using to pull tanks Life at 25 mph! (Some tanks pull faster than that, but not the one I had hooked on for this load) Just got Wes hooked up to a fresh tank The Terragators that are here to spread chicken poo. Otherwise known as the "poo flingers"! (These rigs don't belong to us, just spreading the poo on our ground) A beautiful spring sunset. (That doesn't mean the workday is done yet tho!) A common sight this time of year. A neighbor is burning off the edge of the field, and a waterway. Time for me to head back out and cycle the tanks thru for another day. Hope you all are enjoying your Spring also! Happy trails ~plowgirl

Hello. My name is Kim. I'm an addict. That should be my opening line to the "FaceBook Users Anonymous" group. I used to "myspace"...in fact I have 2 pages! A "plowgirl" page and my Derbydarlin' page.

Like, say for instance, Mike......I haven't seen Mike since he was a Freshman in HS and I was a Senior. We had home room together. I've now visited with Mike via FB to find out that he is a helicopter pilot and is stationed somewhere in

Incoherent ramblings!

Yet again it's been a few weeks since I've blogged. So pardon with me while I just ramble thru yet another "catch up" post. Basement........I've started working on the basement. The construction remnants are now removed (most of them anyway, I am waiting on M and the guys to remove the beams that held up the house while the walls were out). The goal for this week is to get the bleach treatment on the walls and floor finished. Hope to get the dry-lock paint on them next week. Then I need to figure out what color/texture will go on next. I've changed my mind so many times I can't keep up with myself! I'm open to suggestions......so leave me some email, or comments!!! (Especially if you've been thru a flood and have/had water issues. I'm not convinced that this "fix" was actually a fix, and that the basement will be dry.) AND, we are STILL waiting on the mason to come back and put the brick back on the naked house. When it rai
