A pretty nice Sunday.
I didn't get up for chores until right up to the rail at 7 this morning...guess I was tired. So, after getting those done I went back into the house and took a half hour nap before I got up and got ready for church. There were only like 16 people in the building this morning- a cozy little crowd. The service was a little different because the pastor has so many chuches to go to that he is only here two Sundays of the month, the others are done by a leigh person. It was still pretty nice though. So, afterward I headed back home and started cleaning and doing laundry. Just basic around the house stuff. Meanwhile, Merle was out setting up the tub chute for tomorrow and stringing salt and mineral. When he came back he brought the lawn mower over...fun, now I don't even have an excuse! lol, I really need to mow the yard.
We went in for dinner and spent most of the afternoon haying. We had just a few odds and ends to catch up; we got most of it done except just two hay pens when my tractor decided to start in on it's crap again. It quits in the most terrible spots...I was at the end of a lane trying to turn around in a tiny, tight space and it decided not to break loose and get into gear. After some choice words and a lot of fidgeting I got in going long enough to finish what we were doing and park it. Tomorrow we are sending the alternator to Phillip- hopefully that solves the problem, we'll see- I'm not so sure.
After giving up on that we went down and did chores a little early so that we could load up two four wheelers and go to the top of the butte! Probably the coolest thing ever. Merle said I would get up there sometime before summer was over and now I have. I was surprized that there is a trail of sorts up there but it's really washed out, so you kinda have to make your own. But once you get on top it is beautiful! It was kinda hazy from the weather today but you could still see for miles and miles (might give me an excuse to go up there again). The quite and the prairie smell are pretty amazing as well. There is some really neat stuff up there like an old sundance ring and sweat lodges. We saw four spots where people had been fairly recently. (Apparently it is one place that people sometimes go on vision quests). During these quests they spend about three days (if I remember right) up there. We saw some fresh footprints in the dirt so we couldn't have been far behind someone- maybe even earlier today or yesterday. I got some cool pictures...all the more reson to get my pictures up on this site. It was definitly worth it and pretty darn amazing! But, after checking out all the good viewpoints we came back down the steep sidehill and headed for home. I ate dinner and that puts me here- ready for bed.
Tomorrow we will be pulling bulls from Hisle Dam and Chief Bears...should be fun, eh we'll see!
