This is some really exciting stuff!  We're taking soil samples to see what will grow in our pastures.
We walked back and forth, up and down, digging holes and putting dirt in a bucket.

Mike dug the holes, I carried the bucket (you know I had the hard job!).

 We took 4 different samples and then today mailed them off to Texas A&M for analysis.  Had to pay to mail dirt. Somebody actually has a job that requires receiving dirt in the mail from strangers -opening the bags and running analysis on it.  I'm just saying, there are some freaky people out there.  All of a sudden, accounting doesn't sound so bad!

 Our hay is still in it's winter stage - brown and crispy.  In a couple of months it'll be 3 feet tall and we'll be spending hours on the tractor mowing.
 
 The nectarine tree is covered in blooms - I wonder if it will survive the next freeze?

 Well, that's all I have today.  It's kinda slow in the winter.  I just have one question:  does this look safe to you?
