Five weeks and counting . . .

Here we still are, three weeks later, and an adventurous day it was! Peter and Joseph were gone to Maple Creek, cutting meat, Mark and Elena went to Swift Current with all their family, David was working for the Richmound RM picking rocks, Justin is not well, so that left John Sr. Gabriella and I to look after the farm. I remembered after several hours of doing laundry and making Lasagne that I had forgotten to check the stock tank. It was dry as a bone and there were a number of cows waiting patiently for water. So I turned the water on, then noticed a cow or two wandering around in the yard. Fast forward - help my Father-in-law mend fence, run back inside, check Lasagne, switch laundry, run back outside, stock tank is running over, turn off hydrant while wading ankle deep through muck in my sandals, eat Lasagne, do dishes, switch laundry, run hydrant again, cow knocks the pipe off the hydrant, barnyard gets flooded, turn off hydrant, run to town for Divine Mercy novena prayers, hurry home, pile laundry on bed.

Peter and Joseph came home after that, so things settled down nicely. Now to spend a nice quiet evening catching up on the pro life books!
