Vacation Time

For the past week we have been frantically trying to tie up all the loose ends to get away for a vacation.  Sometimes I wonder if it is worth it.  However, once we get away I decide it's like having a baby.  Not much fun getting it here but you forget all about it when the baby arrives.

It didn't help that we have had an unbelievable spell of major storms as a front has become stationary right over us.  Fortunately, we didn't have the number of tornadoes that they did further south but we still had lots of wind damage, flooding and related storm problems.  Since my hubby is an insurance agent that means that he has been super busy at the office.  Although we didn't have much damage on the farm (a couple of trees down and some branches here and there) we also haven't been able to get much done in the rain.  Now that we have a few clear days we are frantically trying to get fertilizer spread, fences mended, water-gaps replaced, cattle worked, yard mowed and weeds sprayed.  That means late nights and long days. At the end of which we hope to have a week of relaxation in the sun. 

If only we aren't too tired to enjoy it.
