We did finish that strip. We didn’t start another.
I cleaned up beet digger and looked everything over really good. Then spread rye seed on the ground we had harvested already.
I thought about going hunting but I was just to tired and sore. I couldn’t stay awake so I went home and went to bed. I thought I would get up in the morning and go instead. When I woke up in the early morning I went to bathroom and decided the bed felt really, really, really good. I decided I needed sleep more than hunting and went back to bed.
Yesterday we finished harvesting my sons corn and our neighbors to. Then I spread rye, and he got some tillage done.
This morning the wind is blowing hard. I’m not going hunting in this. I feel like a person again and I really missed my wife even though she was here all the while. Was really nice to actually have a little time with her.
The weather has warmed enough that we are shut down until Monday morning. Hopefully we can finish the field we are in then.
Tuesday I have to go with my wife to have a spot removed from her cheek. We had a biopsy taken about five years ago. It came back negative. She had a follow up a year later and doctors gave her the ok. Her next two visits were canceled because of Covid. This spring when she was having her medical problems the doctors and nurses were concerned about that spot.
We tried to get appointment but it took almost six months to get in because they are so far behind. As soon as the doctor saw her he was very concerned and immediately started removing the spot and sent in another biopsy. He said he was sure what it was though. Biopsy came back positive. My wife doesn’t remember the name of the cancer, or know anything about it. They did tell her it was highly unlikely that it spread though so we are hopeful.
Tuesday morning we are going to vote first thing and then go to city for her procedure. Any thoughts and prayers are much appreciated.
I don’t know what will happen. It’s a rather large spot or maybe several together. I don’t have a lot of information on it yet. Of course my wife is worried about the spot and what she will look like after the procedure. It is smack dab in the center of her cheek.
I’m just wanting to get her to doctors and get her well and she is going to look beautiful to me as long as she is healthy. It’s been a tough 12 months. I have lost some really good friends. I certainly hope I don’t lose my wife. I don’t think I will , but it’s scary all the same.
We have a good 3 days left of digging beets. Next week sounds like pretty good weather for storing and harvesting them.
Really hoping we can finish the field we are in now Monday. There should be about 40 acres left in it.
Then Tuesday take my wife for her successful procedure while my truck drivers attend their father and grandpa’s funeral. He was a good man and lived a good long life. Was 93 and in good shape until just a month ago. He told everyone not to cry for him. He was very blessed
Then hopefully the equipment can get moved to the last field. It’s literally right across the railroad tracks from the piling grounds so even if we have a skeleton crew we should be able to get something done.
Maybe we can be finished by Thursday or Friday.
