Weather is still iffy so not much haying mowing etc has been done yet. We have got a lot of bits and bites done. Like we fenced out front of the house so you can seat on the deck and watch your cows neat.Vicky has had a friend down fr Quebec for the last 2 weeks it has been fun for them both. It has been so muggy here it is gross.We are taking the weekend and heading to Halifax hope to see some friends and have some fun plan to head home for Sat. to go to fireworks all our grandkids will be here.

It has been a h ll of a week.Vicky was in the miss of graduation and we did silage all done over filled the silo had to shove out a half wagon load ( bruce did) and save the unloader and let settle and then reload in to the silo next day . Next Bruce got that silo ready to feed and the we shout down the other 2, sealed and started to raised greased and all ready to go.Now we are going to start to hay we will do a little to make sure all is going to work. Did I tell you that one of reasons we are done silage is that Bruces forage harvestor broke . WE are going to Halifax for the weekend and Tanya is coming to mind the fort cannot wait.

oh boys it has been a while and man we have been busy. We have had lots of grad stuff going on like grad banquet and grad church service and grad barbeque yes we are all grad out lucky for us it has been raining so this does not cut into our work just kidding it has been a blast and lets us join forces with all the parents. Well its been raining raining and more raining so Bruce went to visit Jesse on his farm and did some farm visits they visited Bruces old boss when he was Jesses age. When he was gone a pipe broke in the lower barn oh there was water every where cleaned it up took us girls awhile then compacitors on the silo conveyor went called Bruce on his cell and asked what do we do well he said take motor in and get them to fix and they did only a hr and I was feeding siage ,so then the foot trimmer arrived we trimmed 15 head then we took a break for supper and Bruce arrived home . Did the evening chores and I go to put a cow (631) in maternity pen due to calve in the next day or two and she is down with milk fever grr Bruce gives her a bottle in the vein (calcium) and the witch still would not move never got up till around 2 today still not terrific but she is up.
