[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 655295, member: 6198"] get up at 6:30, leave for my bus route at 7 home between 9-9:30 depending if it is a fuel day or not, or if i have to go to the garage for repairs, then it's 10 or 11. Hubby tries to get feeding done by then, then we have breakfast, unless i have to go to the garage. It's our get the days started thing. If we miss breakfast at 9 together, results in a haywire day work on the farm in a variety of jobs. Cows, bees, garden/yard, candle making/wax processing, data entry correspondence course, general farm stuff. I do not fence as alot of our fence is in the bush, and i get tangled easily, resulting in that Irish, red headed female temper rearing it's ugly head and taking it our on a poor defenseless bush...and those dang wood ticks..lol back on the bus at 3 home by 5 dinner then work till dark outside. Sometimes dinner is late cause when I drive bus we eat lunch at two. If it is winter, indoor work got rid of the chickens, not enough hours in the day. Add in there church committees, for both of us, house work, canning, and anything else a farm wife does. We own 960 acres, rent from parents 640 acres, close to 1/2 of all this is bush. We wintered 147 bee hives, took heavy losses because of the long cold winter and the poor summer and fall conditions, and downsizes our cow heard by half last fall, again cause of poor weather and hay crop. I must say that that was nice this calving. Not as rushed all the time. Finshed the last of the data entry, off to the accountants, should have been sunny today, would have liked to work with the bees. Oh well, there is laundry, dishes, and yard work awaiting... [/QUOTE]
