A week and a half

Hi.
It has been a week and a half since I put anything in here so I Guess it must be about time you see I have been busy trying to get a couple of fields ready to plant and I did get the meadow done.
Now you see I call this small field the meadow because Grampa Nixon had a meadow so I wanted a meadow you know the sheep are in the meadow and the cows are in the corn now if you think about that little rhyme neither case is a good scenerio because they are eating up the winter food.
Anyway that's enough explaining nursery rhymes right.
I seeded the meadow down with grass seed as it turned out really good you see I got stuck there last week and it ended up that it is really smooth and I got it rolled down so I am very pleased with how it turned out.
That was yesterday morning and in the aft I got over 75% of the other field with the tractor and the harrows I did get stuck once but got myself out.
All I do is unhook and drive ahead if I can with the tractor then with a long chain rehook to the harrows and pull them ahead to dry ground and rehook and off I go again sometimes it is that easy other times it isn't so easy.
I will get the shoes on the mares and do the wet spots with them as they don't get stuck now you might be wondering why doesn't he just do all of it with the mares and here is my reasoning on that.
First this is very hard work for horses and so I am trying to get as much done with the tractor first then finish the wet spots with the mares see.
Hope I am not boring you too much so far.
It is raining today so that will slow me down aconsiderable amount.
I have some things to do in the barn anyway so the will keep me busy for today it os good to have something to do right and all the while wishing that we didn't have so much to do it is just human nature I guess.

Two days in a row.

Ho there blog I'm back.
I was up early today at about 5;30 or even earlier as I recall went to the barn and fed the horses they seem to like that.
Then came in had my porridge etc I read some and soon it was time to go out so I went to the woods as I wanted to pile up some of the wood I had cut as it was down and I was afraid I would get covered with snow since it is supposed to snow on the week end but now I know it is rain mostly.
I drained the oil out of the tractor and went to the dealer and bought fuel filters and an oil filter for the old thing so will get new oil and new filters on it tomorrow.
Today is the 5 th of Dec and I am sure of that because Mary said so from now on I will check with her so I Know for sure what day it is OK Alice.
There will be no more sarcasm allowed in emails to me from now on let the whole world know.
Went to Skip's on the way home from the dealers and talked to him for awhile and saw that big beautiful stallion that is there and we took his truck and went to a place to see a band saw mill that this fellow had but he didn't want to sell it .
It is the same make as a neighbour up the road has and it does work good for him.
I would love to have a saw mill as I have alot of trees that are dying and the mills that buy logs won't take them but they saw into good lumber just the same.
So I will keep looking .
It is about 9:30 now so I guess I will say bye for now Mr Blog.
