Yaaawwwnn

I hate these new pills...20 minutes after I take it I feel nauseas the rest of the day...they make me sooooooooooo tired...I can barely think, and today I am really dizzy too...so I will discuss it with R tonight, whether I will fill the prescription or just use up the sample box the doc gave me and call that good... I should give it the 10 days he asked me to to see if they perform a miracle and take away the pain...

We are going to a fancy dinner party tomorrow at R's cousin's place in the city...she owns a million dollar condo on the Edge of the River Valley, quite near the Shaw Conference centre.  R's other cousin lives in a similar condo across the river...both have wonderful views and both are very fancy... I have put together a book of genealogy for her family and we are delivering them...I made 7 copies,  She wanted to pay me but I don't th ink she was aware of how many hours go into gathering that information...so I just told her she could pay for the copying and binders... I wish I was feeling better so that I could be more coherent and discuss what I found with her tomorrow...as it is I am pretty groggy.

I did force myself to go outside this moring early, and pull a few pails of dandelions from the perenial beds and moved two perenials that were being crowed out by a shrub..and that pretty much did me in. R is hauling truck loads of grain to the English fellow down the road to have it cleaned

...It is augered through a small elevator he has on his property and as the grain passes through the system it is run across several screens and is shaken...the smaller weed seeds and small kernels of grain that are inferior are sifted out and caught in a hopper, those are called "screenings" and R will go back later and haul those home to feed to the cattle...but the good kernels of grain, after they have had all the weed and inferior seeds sifted out of them are augered back into the truck

and he hauls them home and stores them for seeding the crop later this month...taking them to this fellows place is much handier than taking them to town...especially with the road bans on and trucks can only haul...75% of their normal load...he would have to make quite a few more trips.

Over the weekend our farm was the place to be if you were a sandhill crane...we had hundreds of them land on the field by our old slough..I managed to take this picture from the yard which is a long ways away..I could have gotten closer but I didn't want the dogs to follow me and chase the cranes...or start nosing around the slough and wreck the goose and duck eggs..  we haven't heard any frogs yet either... it is late in the spring to not have them croaking.  Even my toad has not dug himself up yet this year. 

well I thought I could tough it through this coma thing but I just can't stay awake so I have to go lay down...
