We took the next week off from Museum activities and concentrated on the farm (Grover) and fitness (Me). There's always tractor repair work to be done and haying. Nothing new there. And I have been focusing on getting more exercise. That means walking, swimming, treadmill work, elliptical workouts, and riding my bike in the evenings with my friend, Sharon.
September 2014
On Labor Day we separated the cows and calves, and 3 days later we trucked the calves over to the corral. So now Grover is on calf duty--making sure they have hay and water and are happy in their new digs. The cows are still down the road in the pasture. (They are, after all, grass-fed beef!) I never knew that was such a big deal until recently. Funny how advertising labels are used to sell a product.
The next day we headed for Billings to pick up the girls -- Emily and Martha -- at the airport. They flew in for a weekend visit. We went to Yellowstone on Saturday and stayed overnight in West Yellowstone, so we could see more of Yellowstone on Sunday.
Aren't the falls magnificent?
We got some great photos in Yellowstone and saw so many buffalo on Saturday that by Sunday we weren't even interested in stopping to see them along the road.
We hiked to the Fairy Falls -- 5.2 miles roundtrip. It was a pretty easy hike--mostly flat and we sang and talked along the way--just in case there were any bears nearby. We were certain that our singing would most likely scare them off!
We had a lot of fun. The girls made us laugh--they are so funny! They gave Grover and I a hard time--teasing us about the things we said and did when they were little.
