The girls were ill today.  We’re not sure if they had the same ‘yuck’ or not.  The good news is that Madison appears to be getting over the hump (she missed 2 days of school last week), but  Chas still seems to be in the thick of it.  In the afternoon, I stayed home with Chas, while Carol and Madison made a run to Willmar for some medicine and a few ingredients for some home remedy potions.   Chas slept most of the afternoon.

Once Carol got home, I headed out to help the neighbors with chores.  As I understand, illness is hitting them hard as well.  When I returned, Carol jokingly mentioned that she cured Chas… for now – no congestion, no coughing, no nothin.   That was kind of unexpected… we’ll see how long that lasts.

After dinner/supper, some of the critters were letting me know it was time for some hay to be headed their way.  While bringing the cattle their bale of grass-hay, I couldn’t help but notice the oats was starting to show itself.  It seems as though it hasn’t been in the ground long enough, but with the warm weather and rain, it is time to grow I guess.  I was presently surprised to see it.  While I had the tractor running, I decided to run the goats & sheep a bale of grass-hay as well.  They now have a choice between grass or grass/alfalfa mix… kind of a buffet.
