8:30-3:30... and beyond.
Twelve trucks came through today. On a good day, I see about sixty trucks. It was a slow day in the fields due to a mixture of reasons.
First are the conditions of the fields. They were muddy and wet today. The corn was, also, apparently brown and nearly horizontal in another field. These things make for difficult cutting times.
Moreover, we were finishing up the area we had been in for the past few days. A finished field equals moving. The humongous equipment has to move to a completely different location in a completely different town. Moves like this take time.
Roll all of these things together and you get a SLOW day that ends early! I, for one, am very grateful for getting off at 3:30. My "to do" list was growing exponentially and this time was going to be put to good use.
I flew outta the farm and into the shower (taking note that my lovely landlord mowed the lawn). I got ready and felt like a girl again with make-up, hair down, shorts, flops, etc.
Then I needed to fold the laundry that has been sitting in the dryer for days now. I washed some dishes that had been sitting in the sink from the one day I decided I would cook spaghetti at 8:00.
Onto pick up the brother-in-law so I could pick up a truck to be able to relinquish my truck to the caring hands of my PopPop. My baby truck will be fixed up nice and purdy, I assure you. We had a nice dinner together. I love my family!
On the way home it was decided that the sister and brother-in-law would watch How to Train Your Dragon 2 with me at the BT3. Woot! I've been needing a movie!
Dropped BiL off to meet up later. Publix. Unload. Dog love. Blog. And off I go to the movies.
Next time I get off early... I'm napping!
