I don't really feel like doing a "get to know you blog"...just yet anyway.
I think you can pick up enough of who am I am with through my experiences.
So...
Wednesday I left a training session where I gave a 15 min presentation about my life on the dairy farm (okay you should at the very least know I live on a dairy farm, it's kinda a big deal!) I was dressed in my business clothes when I left. 2 hours later and I was in my muddy boots.
My assignment for the weekend: take pictures of my life. I knew I was starting this blog and I wanted to start sharing my life around the farm.... without a smart phone...we'll see how this goes...
Anyway, I began my adventure with loading up some manure. Quickly changed gears and fed our heifers and gave them some fresh bedding. After that was finished, it was time to start "chores."
Dad, being the expert driver....
(Maybe if this blog continues long enough you'll see one of him getting stuck, not that it ever happens...)
Yes, this is the pile that needs to be hauled out on the field so it can begin to fertilize this year's crop!
Side note: As my first blog post I better describe what "chores" is for me. It isn't making supper and making sure the house is picked up. It begins with a two hour milking routine (for another blog post), Then I feed the cows their supper and dessert (hay). Clean up and materials they may have left behind after eating. Finally, lay out some straw for the cows that don't have stalls in the barn and help feed and water pigs if needed. At night this is usually a 3 hour routine....if nothing goes wrong.
Luckily nothing went wrong, I got in the house about 8:30 ate my supper and headed to bed because the sun rises early...but my alarm goes off even earlier.
