It's that time again. Time to prepare for planting, getting the equipement checked over, and our annual date... to pick up the seed!
Yes, John and I have been laughingly calling this our "date day" for years. It typically begins with a trip to our seed dealer to pick up the oats and barley seed.
On busy days like today, you pay, and then wait your turn.
Before we know it, the seed bags are piled in our truck. After a bit of conversation, of course.
The next stop is almost always Dairy Queen. A hot dog and malt never tasted so good! I didn't have to cook, and you can never go wrong with ice cream!
Next stop- our John Deere dealer to pick up a few filters for the tractors. We always keep a few on hand. I, of course peruse the toys. Did you know they make Lego sets so you can build a John Deere tractor? I begged, but didn't get one. :(
Our last stop is our local grain elevator to buy calf feed. With all the calves born lately, we are really going to go through it in a hurry.
So there you have it, a typical, annual, farmer-style date, with my favorite farmer by my side!
