Fall

I just commented on my Facebook page about how the wind today had a "bite" to it. I spent the morning at the feed yard fixing corrals and getting ready to bring cattle in. If the sun would have gone behind the clouds I would have been looking for a coat. The wind, or maybe you could call it a breeze, no it was a wind was cool and felt very much like fall. I brought back memories of working on the farm during the fall. This was the time of year that we put up the corn silage, my mind drifted back to those days, days much like today with a cool wind blowing and the hard work required to get everything done. Silage, hay, cattle to round up and bring in, yes the fall and the spring were always busy times on the farm. I have reflected upon those times a lot this last week, not sure why, I guess working on the farm as the weather changes reminds me of those times.
On a side note, I don't like the wind, it is one weather condition that I could do without. However, today's cool fall wind was a welcome change from the Satan's breath straight from Hell wind that we normally get around here. We seem to have had more than our fair share of wind this past summer. Either I can't remember the wind blowing so much, or the wind has blown a lot more than usual.

Waiting for the YM to colect pennies-by-the-inch donations. Thought I would try making an entry on my blog. Can't believe Lydia is in YW. 3 out of 5, too weird.

Interesting time

It is an interesting time in my life. I have been unemployed since June 19th, although dad has been keeping me busy on the farm. It has been an interesting time, the jobs that I have interviewed for I am over qualified for and pay too little to support my family. I have recently started looking for work throughout the country. My wife has started getting the same feeling that she got before we moved in the past. She usually gets it 3 or 4 months before I do. I have mixed feelings about it all. It will be most difficult for the kids, Jacob is in high school, Rachel and Lydia are on competitive soccer teams, Jed and Sye both like their teachers this year. Barb and I are willing to go whereever, but, we both know that any move will be difficult. I suppose that this is one of the ways that the Lord tries us, to see if we will follow his will instead of doing what we want or what is easier.
