The first round of haying is about to be finished...

It's been a hectic few weeks. We've had two swathers going full blast, the baler going from early in the AM until things get too hot and dry, and the loader tractors pushing bales, loading bales, unloading bales, all that sort of thing, and the first crop alfalfa, such as it was, and the meadow hay is all cut and baled and most of it's stacked. Then it's a short break until the second alfalfa crop comes on...

Last Saturday we went to a wedding in Boise. Interesting wedding, actually. The background music while we were waiting in the sun for the bride to get herself together was pretty much wedding standard. The "bring in the bridesmaids" song was "Puttin' on the Ritz" which was definitely different. I don't remember what the groomsmen's song was, but it was contempo also. The happy couple's vows were a departure from what I think of when I think wedding. I generally think of God, and pledging to honor Him, and so on and so forth. This didn't happen this time. Maybe I'm just old fashioned...

Of course any trip to Boise is an excuse to get in some shopping at Costco on the way over. Since they put the new Costco in Nampa, it's nice because now we don't have to go clear out the other side of Boise to get there. And the Nampa Costco is right across the street from the new Sportsman's Warehouse, too. I went there while Cheryl and her mom and sis were at Costco. Amazingly enough, I went to SW for two specific things, and found one of them. This is somewhat unusual...

Life is moving along. I need to get parts for one of Clint's pistols and have Bowen Valley Kid (Keith) look at the other one before the 26th, which I'm assuming is the annual night shoot at Virtue Flat. I need to get ahold of Lever Action Louie and see for sure. With the price of fuel, he may decide it costs too much to run the generator. I hope not. I've got some shotshells loaded up with real black powder that should put out some pretty good fireballs. Hopefully we can get some pictures to post...

So that's about how life is going on Sisley Creek at the moment. Remember, boring can be our friend...
