Whirlwind Week

Last week the weather cooperated all week and the forecasted rains did not materialize.  We were able to finish planting soybeans on Thursday, finish replanting corn Thursday night, finish sidedressing corn on Friday, and finish replanting soybeans on Friday night!  By late morning Saturday, all the feed was ground for the week and two loads were hauled to the neighbors farm.  We received a little rain Saturday evening, so that will help get the last of the crops out of the ground.
Time for a break and some R & R.

Saturday afternoon I headed for the shores of Lake Michigan.  The rest of the family had headed up a day earlier. We stayed at the Grand Beach Inn near New Buffalo, Michigan.  The weather is definitely cooler up there than it was at home.  I enjoyed walking the beach and the local neighborhood.  And sleeping.
We spent Father's Day with the extended family in church in Valparaiso,IN.  It was a nice day and we enjoyed the fellowship there.  Our family greatly outnumbered the home folks that were there, so we brought the food for lunch.
I had to come home a couple of days earlier than the rest of the family, because we got a shipment of weaner pigs in this morning.  So my vacation was shorter than had been planned.  I'll have to find time for another one later on!

The January through May time period was the wettest in Illinois since records were kept starting in 1895.
