Feel free to zoom in on the picture so you can get a clear shot of what is to the left of the tree......Ahhhhhh can you guess what is going on.....Spring is nearly here....it's time to prepare the fields...and how do we prepare the fields......you guessed it....with nice warm manure.....MMMMMmmmmm....can you smell it.....it's only a matter of time before I do.......:) I found this particular "poop-flinger" quite interesting.....as it "flung" the unmentionables through the air...I could tell, because of the coldness of the day that the poo was actually warm....do you see the "cloud" following the tractor....I believe that to be poo steam....Yummy!! :( You see the ground is WAAYYYYYY too wet to create such a cloud so it can only mean that the "fertilizer" is warmer than the air and ground....Oh how I love living in the country....YEHAW!!
Anyway....enough potty talk (does that term count when it comes to a cow?? oh well)
So...we ended out the week last week quite differently than I thought it would...Keith was gone almost two nights rather than just one as I had hoped....he got stuck in the Minneapolis airport on the runway for about 2 1/2 hours because a blizzard was striking the area....Yah...this made me incredibly uncomfortable because of the recent downed planes due to such conditions....they would plow the runway....de-ice the planes and then allow a few to land and a few to take-off before they had to start the process all over again. Luckily he made it home in one piece and even earlier than first assumed! So, that kinda threw plans for a loop....the kids and I changed plans and went to my mom and dad's for supper for some "out of the house" time. Unfortunetly I didn't get much time with daddy because he got home around time for bed and then the next morning he worked until it was time for me to go work at the auction so we saw eachother in passing. Sat though we finally got some time all togethor as a family...which I was in desperate need for!! Sunday at church we had 6 baptisms and a young man who is an offensive lineman for Michigan spoke and was baptized. He has such a testimony....he grew up in the neighboring town and planned to go to OSU his whole life until he met the scouts for MI....anyway he became a Christian because of his girlfriend in highschool but unfortunetly last Christmas Eve his family was in a car accident and his dad and girlfriend were killed and his brother left paralized. Such a sad story.....but God is using him in awesome ways...leading guys on the football team and other friends to Christ because of how his life experience has changed him. Great message and even Keith enjoyed it....despite his feelings for MI :) Anyway it was really good! Yesterday we started out the week with a bang...I worked at the hospital and had to go to mandatory meetings...yay.....I learned all about infection control.....joint commission......saftey.......terrorist attacks........how you could freeze to death from the liquid oxygen tanks in the back of the hospital....real positive material :) But...at least I got it over with.....anyway then Lucy had an eye appointment....everything looked ok....but Lucy's got a cold and the Doc wants us to check a couple things when her cold is over to make sure there have been no changes in her condition.
The rest of this week looks good....we are busy with dentist appointments and other events. On Sat we are headed to Jacob and Josh's swim party....which Gideon is incredibly excited about. He wants to show off his swimming. I am amazed at how this "parent-child" swim class has helped him to swim. He has come leaps and bounds from where he was a year ago. He can actually "swim" now without floaty's or much help from Keith. I think we may enroll him in actual lessons this summer to perfect the basics he has learned but he should be pretty good to go...in fairly shallow water now! Anyway I hope everyone is staying healthy! We've been blessed so far but recently...as in yesterday have started with the respiratory junk that is going around.....COME ON SPRING....lets kill those bugs!! :)
