Who do we have to bribe to skip June - September and jump straight to October?

nooooo! i'm just getting started here!

it is above 52F now but it was below 39F last night. I will open up the garage and get the plants put out after brunch and then get to work weeding, etc.

Chilly 46 overnight here. Much cooler than normal, for a good part of May with LOTS of rain... Had nearly 9 inches for the month... 3-4 is normal... CRAZY since we were way behind in moisture and warmer than normal prior to May coming in...

Wanted to move the Turkey poults out to the calf hutch with a heat lamp, but 46 is a little too chilly... Temps are supposed to hit upper 80's by the end of the week... maybe in another day or 2.

Rain is done for maybe the next 5-7 days... don't like to complain about it but we need a break.

Son is mowing today... hope to get about 30+ acres on the ground... about 18-20 of the orchard grass and another 15 or so of the wheat. Wheat ground will get planted in corn in a couple weeks...

We have a vet preg check Monday... last group for the season...30 or so cows.... and then I have to test dairy cows Tuesday; they milk at 1 and I have to leave at 10:30 to get there to set up meters... need to get everything loaded in the car between today and tomorrow... and we both go to test the 550 cow herd on Wed afternoon...
Hay might need tedding Wed... but if it is dry enough will just rake... Will spend the better part of Thursday raking for him to get it baled in case we get the possible rain/showers on Friday afternoon. If it warms up like they say, it will dry better too.
