Ox in the Mire.....

OK, so they weren't Oxen but the neighbors cows got out Saturday night and Leslie and Kaitlin went to help round them up after church. For those of you who think we might be transforming into "Utah Mormon's" and are wondering why we wouldn't wait until Monday morning to go round up the cows you can blame it, and everything else for that matter, on the price of fuel. There used to be a time when a local farmer could care less if a few cows got out and spent half a day grazing on his field but with the price per bale what it is today they aren't quite as Farmerly. So it was a bit more pressing that the cows get put back where they belong. Kaitlin snapped a few photo's with her phone, it was quite the round up. I told it probably would have been a good idea to make sure that The one downside of dealing in ponies is that the water always seems a little bit deeper.

Progress on the house continues, I'll post some photo's next week after they get the shingles on. For now most of the progress is taking place inside the house so posting pictures is kinda pointless. The heating and air conditioning guy is done, electrical needs a couple more days, and I'm hoping to have the plumbing done by mid-next week. I keep thinking that things are going too smoothly and that a bump in the road is looming. I know now that I've said it out loud it's bound to happen. It just seems like everything has been working out better than we could hope. I've been able to spend a lot more time on the house than we ever imagined I would over the last couple months. I was put on a long term engagement that I've been able to work on from home. I think I've only been out of town two of the last six weeks. If this keeps up we'll move in sooner than I thought.
