Our conversation after breakfast, (I know, I know. Don't be so shocked. I do do this once ever so often. And yes, it did surprise my Farmer too. But after all, it was Sunday. Can't a girl make her Farmer breakfast without everyone wondering why? Okay fine.......so I needed to butter him up a bit. No big deal. You'll learn why.) Anyways, back to our conversation.......
My Farmer > I'm gonna take the pickup and go drive around and check on things.
Me > I'll ride with you.
My Farmer > Ok. Get ready.
As I'm getting ready, I decide to make me a cup of tea to go.
My Farmer > Are you making a cup of tea?
Me > Yes, why?
My Farmer > Do you think this is a frickin' Sunday drive or something?
Me > Uhhh. Duh! We ARE driving in the pickup and it IS Sunday!
My Farmer > O.K. Fine. He says through a grin as he walks out the door.
Gotta love my Farmer. 😃
Then as we are driving down the road, he learns why I fixed him a nice big hot breakfast.
Me > Would we have time to go get my 4-wheeler unstuck?
Yep, when I was doing my midnight cow check, I went through some snow that was a little to deep. You know; in the dark it is really hard to tell how deep that crap is. Anyways, long story short, of course this happened at the far end of the field, so I had to walk back. I was not a very happy person. Now remember when I talked about being brave checking the cows in the middle of the night because I was on an ATV. Well I remembered that last night! as I headed back through the field, without my ATV, on foot, in the pitch black night, with a flash light that was almost dead, and a small headlamp on my head. As the cows started getting a little restless, I realized that they could only see the headlamp coming at them and it might have been freaking them out a bit. I started freaking out a bit! I am sooo not brave without my ATV. So I jumped over the fence and walk the rest of the way to the barn on the road. Waaaay less scary there.
I am not driving through any snowbanks tonight and I am making sure my flashlight is fulling charged. You should always learn from your mistakes, when you are Livin' the Life, the Farm Life that is............
