Longer Days

Longer Days

It’s that time of year when the days finally get noticeable longer. Weather changes, and mother nature finally seems to be attempting to move to a new season. 

Longer days can mean a lot. Sometimes, it can mean a long day at work or a rough patch. Days where it seems that everything piles on you and you will never get out. Long days can be the worst sometimes. 

There are times when you get to leave your normal routine and spend time with friends on a patio, enjoying the weather and maybe an adult beverage. Time seems to fly by, and you don’t know where it all went. You can have long days and not even believe it’s over. Long days can be the best sometimes.

When my nephews grew up, it was like it was in the blink of an eye. Even though it had been 18 years of long days. Time still passed by like smoke through a key hole. Those long days will never be forgotten.

At the end of each day, we get to decide how it went. Were we productive and accomplished a lot. Or did we lay around and just nap. Both are highly acceptable in my book. Naps are encouraged. It is still our choice on how we feel.

Knowing we have longer days thanks to mother nature we should choose wisely. When you wake up to start each day. Remember to choose how you want it to go. Your reactions to everything will make the world of difference in the outcome of those longer days.

“Take each day for what it is, a gift. God presented you with another day on this earth. Enjoy it and always make the best of it.” - Jeremy Workman

You are a special kind of stupid aren't you?

     I started this post the other day and it was titled something else and decided to change it since people never cease to amaze me. I know a lot of people. They either worked with me, were one of my employees when I managed people, or friends and family.  I like to follow a wide variety of people on my twitter account.  I think it's important to get a well rounded idea of what people think and believe.      There are some horrific tragedies that have occurred in our country.   They are tragedies that we have seen in the past and will continue to see in the future.  We as Americans come together and support each other, we provide support, food, money, and a prayer.  All are important to the process of rebuilding their lives that have been destroyed.      Theordore Rosevelt was fond of the West African Proverb "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." Pretty good saying in my book. ...

Clean your Windshield

It’s that time of year where people will have the “new year, new me” phrase going strong. For many that will last about 2-3 weeks.  For others they will last well into mid-year. I am of the philosophy that you should make changes immediately in life. If you need to start eating healthier then go to the cupboard and fridge and throw out all unhealthy food. If you are going to stop drinking, throw out all your booze. (Rest a sure this will not happen in my house.) If you are going to start working harder on your livestock, turn off your phones and get to the barn. If you are going to sit back and re-evaluate your life while planning for new adventures, sit down and make a list. Every one of these goals requires you to clean your windshield to see what is ahead of you.  As we go down the highway of life we have a big broad windshield in front of us. We can see great distances and have great hopes of what I'd to come in our lives. In-order to see down that road, you must clea...

What do you know about your Purebred Cattle?

     There has been a small discussion on one social media site about a certain Hereford Bull not testing 100% Hereford.  I am not going to go into depth on the who was right or wrong or what the truth is about that bull.  What I want to talk about is cattle being purebred anymore or do you know the true lineage of your cattle?  For years we have known that some animals were not 100% purebred.  When I was younger being purebred was a status that people took pride in with their herds.  Today I believe a lot of people still take pride in their purebred operations.      For years people have known that real money is made in commercial cattle.  The Purebred cattle industry was/is the upper echelon of cattle.  These are the cattle that people took to fairs to exhibit.  They took to their state fairs to see what prize they could obtain with their homegrown bulls and heifers. There are also some great advantages to taking ...
