Welcome Everyone!
We took advantage of the rain to burn some of the ever growing burn pile. It had
either been to wet, or the wind was too strong or maybe even blowing in the wrong direction. Well all things lined up for us so we burned about 1/3 of the pile in a couple of days. An old duck blind became our burn bin. I was throwing an arm full of brush in the bin when the winds changed directions. I now have a very thin eyebrow and shorter eyelashes on the left side. Thank goodness I had on a hat and gloasses . LOL!

We put the duck blind Dave moved up on blocks. Even Dachser helped. Then Dachser and I burned the grass they used to dress the blinds with. Everything
was so wet there was no fear of starting any unwanted fires.Dave and Howie went and started the Massy and pump to get the water off the lower East Lake. Howie was amazed at how the fish swimming the ditch were trying to swim up the water from pump.
Dave and I rolled up the irrigation tubing that was used to keep the lak
e from freezing up during duck season. Dachser caught 2 mice and tried to take on a non-vemomous smake. It was to quick for him. Dachser went right and it went left. His tail was really moving while he tracking. LOL!

Then on Wednesday Dave and I 
both were finally able to work in the fields. He disced and I used the field cultivator. I had the tires spinning a few times and had to tap it up in the wetter areas. On Thursday we got a rain shower and 
they are calling for more rain on Friday. Enough already. Here is a picture of the Dardene Creek on the road to 80 Club along the south side of the East Lake. It is about a foot from coming over. I didn't go out to the farm to see how high it is today. Stay tuned, more updates to come.
