Too Early For It to Be a Bad Day

Jared went out early this morning to take the water tank out to the cows before he left for work. It had been filling through the night and by the time he remembered to turn it off it had overflowed a bit. When he did go out this morning he got in the tractor and started to drive away (the tank overflowed and made the ground wet under the trailer and then it froze quite hard through the night causing the one tire to be stuck in the frozen muddy ground), as he drove away the tire stayed in the ground and snapped off the trailer. Jared ended up draining the tank into our back yard and running hoses from our house out to the trough in the corrals for the cows to have water. He was able to do all this before he left for work at 7:30! Poor guy, not a great start to his day! It seems we have been having more and more trouble with water here on the home quarter. I think it is time to spend the money and trench a line from the well to join in with the co-op line so all we have to do is turn a valve on and the cows can have water from the well when the co-op is down.

One plus, now that our yard is so wet from draining the tank, it will be easier to level and seed our grass!
