No MOre SNOW pleassssssseeee

For Gods sake enough with the bloody snow already.... since Friday afternoon we have had a foot and a half of snow... besides that we were in the middle of a blizzard and the drifts are over six feet in places...it is incredible...that just three days ago it was 0 degrees and near melting...sunny and all...now it is getting colder and the deep freeze is about to set in for who knows how long...whaaaaaaaaaaaa  

One of our cows is acting like she wants to calf...so after a couple of hours Robert had to reach inside and feel what was happening...he hasn't come down to the house yet so I don't know for sure...but I am thinking it isn't good news, she is about two weeks early....and it is her first calf ever so...lots could go wrong...if the poor little bliter isn't dead already and that is why she is expelling it too early... but hey, Shit happens all the time on the farm.

and like simpletons we just grin and bear it... next year will be better... I have always thought that being a farmer is very much like being a mother giving birth...going through pain stress and more pain during the birthing....but the mind blocks that all from memory so that you will pro-create again and again...I mean really, if you remembered every agonizing sensation of pushing something the size of a foot ball out of your body, you'd remember it and never ever ever ever do it again...so farming is like that....no matter what kind of shit and disaster hits...over the winter we forget and actually feel eager for a new year to start.... or if you didn't like that analogy....here's another

a stupid little battery controled soldier toy...that runs up against the wall and just keeps backing up and hitting that same wall again and again and again......hahahahah until the batteries run dead and then that's it...that's what farming is like...try again and again and again to make it work....until you die....

Never made it to the MRI on saturday...the roads were treacherous and we chose to cancel and stay home... now I have to go to the bottom of the list again and it will be april before I get an appointment.  and my Rheumatologist dropped a bomb shell on me on thursday...she is closing her practice and moving to NY to be with her surgeon husband...who works there... now I have to start all over with another doc.....that frustrates the hell out of me...
