Yesterday I picked up a partial load of cattle feed. Apparently there is shortage...

Took Mrs. Ranch's Jeep to have a new battery installed.

Watered the trees in the front yard, the crape mrytles, the flats in the greenhouse & half of the hanging baskets.

Took down the window covers in the greenhouse.

Put out another roll of hay.

Finished cleaning the Genesis gas grill, it's ready for paint.

Picked up ranch fuel & hit the package store.

Replaced the pot for a hanging basket that cracked which I stupidly dropped the other day.

Made a pan of 'Tennessee Onions' to go with our pork chops.

Made a pound cake for our desserts.

Made a big pan of scalloped potatoes to go with the sirloin meat loaf that Mrs. Ranch is going to make for our suppers.

Work on the cabinet doors of the Genesis grill.

Intermittent rain here (2.22" for the day).

Our granddaughter got Reserve Champion for her lamb at the FFA show. The auction is tomorrow...

Assist in vacuum packing the scalloped potatoes. We now have 12 meals worth in the freezer.

Started sanding the 'burn barrel'. Applied the 1st coat of Ospho to the door in preparation for the high-temp paint.

Grandson came to feed the cattle for us.

Took Dieter to the vet for his every-other-month shot.

Put out another roll of hay.

Watered the stuff in the greenhouse.

Worked on making a picture frame for our granddaughter's final FFA show picture. She'll be heading off to college in a few months...

I'm on calf watch, we have another one ready to hit the ground!!!
