Busy Saturday

After feeding and watering this morning Jim, Brian and Linda got the swamp cooler working. The past few days have been warm, but the hot ones are coming. Jim helped Larry from Wilson's Worms. Lots of manure got moved. Lots more to go. Then Jim took care of the myriad of ranch chores that needed to be done, including putting out 600 pounds of salt (12 fifty pounders). The horses gathered around the blocks like office workers gather around the water cooler.
While he was doing that I went to Chico for a truckload (20 bales) of hay, then over to the Thrift Store. Many folks came in to browse and shop. Tell your friends. We have great deals and the best prices. Something for everyone-even the La Crosse team members.
A new volunteer Marissa worked all day as did Janee and Josh.
When I got home we loaded Sparkle and Ruby so they could go to a wonderful summer pasture. Tomorrow we will take three more.
Tomorrow is Mother's Day. A big thank you to all you women who love, mentor and care for others. You are very special and deserve much more than one day. My mom is no longer with us but a big I Love You to Jim's mom. Where would we be without moms?
Bobbie felt poorly after her shots so she is among the outside herd now. We will move the calves from Cow Jail to a turnout when we get some time on Sunday or Monday.
It's late. I'm tired. Good-night.
