Night Excitement

The corn is up and is looking good so far.
We hauled enough liquid manure to get us by until July, then on Friday morning we disced in the manure, had herbicides applied in the afternoon, field cultivated, and planted our last soybeans.  Rain came Friday night and Saturday.  Hopefully we will not have to replant anything this year and we will stay done.

I love the violets, and hate to mow the lawn when they are in their prime.

Saturday evening we went out to Steak and Shake followed by a stop at Bass Pro Shops.  It was well after dark when we pulled into our garage at home.  Some guests of our neighbor across the road met us and informed us that there was a pig wandering around the neighbor's yard!  I quickly threw on a coverall and boots, grabbed a flashlight and we headed out for the roundup.  When I got out, the neighbors had the pig back in our yard, and the pig seemed to prefer to go towards light.  So, he headed into our open garage.  I had the neighbors and the wife keep the pig corralled in the garage while I went to see where he may have came from and figure out where to put him back.  I opened a gate hoping to chase it into a holding area, but the pig had other directions in mind.  After leading us on a wild pig chase for a while, I opened the hog house office door with the lights on, and we were able to coax him through that door.  Then I was able to run it through the hallways to a temporary pen.  A little Saturday night excitement!
By the way, he left a deposit in the garage.

We enjoyed our Mother's Day gathering at Ron and Kary's, with Ron grilling burgers and frying fish.  With only one grand-kid there to chase around, it was a relaxing evening.
