I called my best friend a while ago to discuss why our son might have gotten into trouble in band today and had to pay a visit to the principal’s office after school. Oh yes, even the best farm kids get a little ornery in school sometimes! Anyway, he (my best friend/husband) randomly stated, while we were talking, “The sun came out!” I had to ask him to repeat what he said. He assured me that in north central Kansas, the sun was shining. SHOCK and AWE! I haven’t seen sunshine for days! I am pretty sure I am more than a little deficient of Vit. D right now and could be well on my way to contracting rickets due to lack of sunshine.
So, back to the band incident. It’s all genetics. Matt got in trouble in music all the time when he was in jr. high. That inability to behave for one hour in a class your aren’t totally fond of carried right on into the DNA of our youngest. Gotta love the life lesson teaching opportunities!
I will try each day to put in some little update about the Ladies of the Night. One of those gals had a sick baby today. I am sure for that calf, just like me….lack of sunshine is the culprit of it’s unthriftiness. Two scour boluses, a dose of sunshine, and it’s up and running and feeling good again. Whew!
I know it will be dark when I pull in the drive tonight, but one of these nights soon I will try to get a recording of Jenny, the mule talking to me as I get out of my vehicle. She hollars at me every night when I pull into the yard and every morning as I am heading out. She is so funny!
