Fishing, Weeding and Rain

Kevin, AKA Grandpa Pig, elected to spend Father's Day on Lake Erie fishing.  I'm pretty sure he only fishes as a social event since he never fishes anywhere near home.  Anyway, sounds like he is enjoying himself.  He'll get home tonight.  I spent the last four days weeding and landscaping.  Troy came out on Friday and cut down a tree that has been too close to the house for as long as I can remember.  Looks different but the more I look at the yard without it the better I like it.  Things are starting to look nice on the farm.  Troy has the swimming pool going and Kael was out and swam in it twice this weekend.  Yesterday was really hot and Marla and Doug and then later Troy all joined him.  Kael is already planning a pool party for his birthday!  Kael and I went to Linden to see my Dad but didn't find anyone at home.  I called them in the evening and discovered they had gone to Des Moines shopping.  Doug and Marla took Keith out to lunch for Fathers Day and then Keith spent several hours sorting and loading cattle.  Ugh.  It was very hot.  Troy was going to help but he got tied up on the golf course so the only option was me.  I no longer own boots (a situation I plan to remedy very soon) so I wasn't all that much help.  Sorry about that Keith!  Well, back to work.  Hope all the Dad's out there had a happy Fathers Day!
