It’s getting close… in fact tomorrow is the first day of Spring!  We took a drive just south of our farm last weekend to an area called “Lookout”.  And we saw why… it was a long winding road that led us up to a high ridge where we could see for miles!  A million dollar view!  Oh, to have a slice of land at the top!  The reason we were there was to purchase our “new” haybine.  It was on Craigs list, and was sold through Mondovi Implement.  A nice one, according to Craig, even though it was about 20 years old.  Well, we can’t get newer equipment on our farm’s budget!  But, as long as it works, it’s fine with us.  Craig is pretty handy at fixing things.  After a hand shake the deal was done and it wasn’t long before the conversation turned to deer hunting.  Which reminds me, our son Dusty shot at a really nice one opening day last November but didn’t find it.  And just last weekend Craig happened to see some antlers poking out of the brush near that trailer house we’ve been working on, and it was Dusty’s deer!  It was amazing that Craig even saw it- so much brush!  Guess his laser eye surgery paid off!  Dusty was so excited and knew by the shape of the antlers that this was the deer he shot.  A nice wide 9 pointer- pretty cool…
