The best laid plans ........... you know the rest.

I always forget that I schedule work on eastern time and so I ended earlier in the day than planned. Unfortunately, even after feeding the kids and doing all the shopping as slow as possible (and talking with all my old friends at Walmart) I still returned home with 3 hours of daylight ahead of me. So I helped paint the house. It's coming along nicely - Ed finished one whole outside wall on the second story and I finished the covered porch area. It's amazing how much better it looks. One of the neighbors stopped by for eggs and said he remembered the last time the house was painted -- 1974! Ack!

Our south neighbor cut his calves yesterday and we saw him with his sons making several trips with the full trailer up and down the road delivering them. His poor heifers were making quite a rucus all night long and even this morning they are still hollering for their babies.

Well, one good thing, between painting this weekend and spring barn cleaning next weekend I should be getting into shape!
