Farming and the Flu

So this past weekend we had an amazing opportunity to go to our friend Keith's family farm. It is a cow farm, however his dad is winding down, so has only got about 30 or so cows left, and is planning to sell them in the fall, and "retire". We had an amazing time there, doing all kinds of things that farmers do. We fed the cows, we built a shed, I drove a tractor and cultivated the garden. We tore up the farm on ATV's, and played with the twin baby cows born the day before. I also tagged those 2 cows, that was fun. We also had a hand in birthing a cow...well...it was mostly Keith's Dad who had a hand in that (if you know what I mean). But we watched, and when the cow was nearly out...and got stuck, both Troy and our other friend Gentry, along with Keith and his dad, pulled that little sticky guy out of there.

What a blast we had there. I really do want to be a farmer when I grow up. Maybe we'll be able to go back to the farm sometime!

We got home on Sunday night, and Monday morning, I had the full blown flu. Dizzy, nauseous, and the works. So unfortunately I've been at home, bored in bed for the past 2 days. I hate staying home, but I don't think I'd have been able to make it through work.

Well that's it. We're now watching American Idol, and relaxing until its time for some more sleep. I hope I feel better tomorrow.
