Change of plans

We had plans to go to the lake this weekend. Ya know, fun in the sun, workin' on my tan... But 'round here, plans can change - quickly. I've told ya how I like to have some sort of idea what I'll be doing in the next day or two...so when wrenches get thrown into the mix, I get sorta irritated. The plan was: go to the lake Friday night, come back early Sunday morning so the boys could get back into the fields. Within the span of...oh...I guess 30 minutes on Friday, the lake plan was cancelled & the farming plan was on in full effect. While I completely understand the boys needing to stay home to farm...I had already packed our stuff & Lora & I had gotten together & made the grocery list for the food she was gonna cook for us :)

S0000..I decided to make the best of a bad situation & go shopping today. I needed to shop for Father's Day (yeah, I'm a procrastinater like that) & our nephew, Cole, turns 7 next Sunday so I needed to get him a present too. And, I decided to replace my camera & look for some new earrings too. (I also ran into the Ellnor's @ Target...holla!)

I took lunch to Brad @ the barn.

Then he tells me I need to take him to the field & then go get Brian & bring him back to the barn.

The field where I went to get Brian is difficult to get to.

There's no silly "road" to drive on...just dirt & rocks & grass. And this is another reason I heart my car. It's 4 wheel drive & I can go anywhere I want...anytime I want.

It had just rained this morning so it was nice & muddy. I was slippin' & slidin'.

Can ya'll hear Brad telling me, "You need to worry about what you're doing & not worry about taking pictures!" Good thing he wasn't w/ me, huh? It'd be a shame for you to miss this.

When Brian & I got back to the barn, Brad was there filling the tank up w/ nitrogen. And then I expressed my displeasure at the fact that I had to drive my car through the mud to the field. He said, "Oh, sorry."

Can ya'll feel my pain? 'Cuz the boys didn't care. I said, "I'm gonna have to wash my car!"

To this they replied, "Yeah...so?!"
