Along time since I wrote anything....

This is really just a quick note. I noticed some of the videos on my posts have disappeared. Bummer!! I guess big brother was watching me. Hahaha Anyways, if I find them again I will update those posts.

I am not sure what to write. I have lots I could share. Maybe just an update on what has been going on in my neck of the woods. What has changed since April 2013?? Oh, one reason I have not blogged much is I started working for a neighbor who does market gardening. I worked again with the neighbor this past summer also. I helped my dad with some of his for hire yard cleaning work. We didn't do his yard but worked for money doing yards for other people. I became crazy busy doing that plus my farm stuff, working for the neighbor, and trying to keep up with it all. I needed a rest last winter. I was pooped. Then it all started again in the spring.

I have been keeping up on the news, not the main stream stuff. Boring, brain washing stuff makes me go blah. It seems we have been delayed again on moving forward and upward quickly, until possibly lately. I feel like I am hanging on a thread here. Oh wait, that is mostly usual anymore. In actuality, I feel more like one day things will be better, not the feeling that crap this bites and what kind of future do I or anyone else really have. I know things have changed and turned around in some respects. I see changes in people and other times I don't. Then I  think, Holy cow peoples wake up!! More times than not I have to almost physically remove myself from those situations and let them wallow in their own quagmire. I can't help or boost everyone. It is time for being responsible. Do the work that needs to be done to dig themselves out of the hole they are in. I have seen many people find their way and had something or someone to divert themselves to more positive things. They got the needed push from the universe to change their course. I am happy for them. :)

As for myself, well..it seems I am one of  those who has to wait patiently while others catch-up so I can finally take one step forward or maybe two. I read that somewhere we move up the rung of a ladder so to speak. It seems I have to wait until the 'guy' behind me is ready or maybe stabilized enough to move up one step as I offer my hand to help them up to the next rung and I move up one more. Yep, that is how I feel. It is not a negative thing. I am just tired and worn out is all, so my patience is running thin. I use to have tons of that when I was a kid. Really I did! I know unbelievable. I was the one most patient to unravel the Christmas lights. I can't do that anymore. I need a vacation from 3D. Hahaha

I am getting babbly here, so I will wrap it up. Things on the farm are going better, especially this fall. I sold all the cattle I had for sale got decent prices. I got all the hay I needed. I even was able to acquire a 60 hp Oliver 880 tractor, an offset disk, and a Rebel 5500 round baler with the help of grandpa. Thanks gramps! Of course, now to pay it back. It should not be hard really.What I pay for in hay every year I can use now to pay that back in about 4 years time max by making hay on the farm in good years, no drought of course. Some of the upland hay is on sandy ground. There is lots of lowland hay, but the cows don't like it when it gets too tough. Things are looking up again here on the farm and we all feel good about what has transpired and will in the near future. I have hope or is that faith? Either way it things have to go forward and upward. :)

Love and Light
