The Indecisive Mother Nature

I was bottomed when trying to think of something to discuss today, because one major person stepped in my way.  Her famous name: Mother Nature!  I wanted to go outside to capture the future of the farm (babies), but due to the outcome of the weather I chose to stay put inside and work work work! Since  Mother Nature has left me to stay inside, why not write about her, because she does play a large role in the farming lifestyle. 

Most of you know about my moving from Southwest corner of Missouri to Northwest Wisconsin, and the biggest change is the weather.  Down there I thought Mother Nature was always unsure what to do and could not ever make up her mind as to what kind of weather to have each day.  One thing I know for sure, she is just as indecisive up here as she is down there!  And I thought I was indecisive, Mother Nature has beat me to the gold medal for that category! 

Just a couple posts before, I posted the lovely ladies outside enjoying the sun-- Today I am able to post gloomy pictures with no sun.  The wind is just unbelievable outrageously hard today.  Brandon is bundled up with several layers of clothes, and his cheeks just red as can be when he came in for a snack.  There is also much talk about some rain and sleet coming in.  I have news for Miss Mother Nature-- Today's date is April 15th, and I would love to keep seeing the sun, so the flowers will bloom and the grass will grow.  It is also about time for the boys to get in the fields to plant, and they can't do so.  The ground is still to wet, and with no sun, the mud won't dry up.  Many plans of farmers are changed due to weather circumstances. 

Corn field where no planting is going on!


This is not completely a bash on Mother Nature.  She is quite interesting in fact.  She does have good qualities as well.  When the weather is dry she brings the rain, sometimes she may be delayed, but other times she forgets to hit the shut off valve! 

It's about time for me to run some errands to town.  Shout out to all the people in the south GOOD LUCK during tornado season, one thing I won't miss!  I will be adventuring out in this cold weather later tonight to attend to a possible show heifer who has ringworm-- I'll make sure I don't get any.

Stay Golden!
