I had just talked to DH then he went out, jumped in the truck and drove over to the other farm. Phone rang -- he was calling on the cell phone.
He had dropped it, and the hay wagon ran over it.
But it still worked. Either Motorola makes them really tough, or the ground was really soft, or a little of both.
Just glad it's OK! Hard to believe how much we depend on that gadget now. Or, as we tell the kids, "When we were little, the telephone was fastened to the wall and you couldn't lose it!"

Rain, rain go away ...
October is supposed to be our driest month, but this year it rained every three days. Across the state only a fraction of the soybeans are in and even less of corn acres.
Soybeans aren't as weather-proof as corn.
However, we did get a good third cutting of hay on some of the fields. Got a portion of the wheat in. The salesman from the seed company says "All you have to do is get it in the ground." Hope so!
And, our broiler chicks are really grwoing. Yasha's chicks that he brought home from first grade grew up and we are keeping them as layers. They look like small turkeys but I do believe they are laying.
Not everything is a disaster, in other words.
