Just a scoop full(April 30)--I was talking to a neighbor this past week. (There is another neighbor of ours who normally has wheat that looks as good as anybody's wheat in our area.) But this past year, in the far north western part of Oklahoma, the rains came very late. Finally, by March, the wheat was about 4 or 5 inches tall and thin. I said I noticed this neighbor had sprayed his wheat and killed it. This other neighbor that I was talking to said, yes, he did. He also said that he hated the fact that he sprayed that wheat. I said, "Why do you say that?" He said, "because that was the only wheat in our area that looked worse than his did." Kids are a lot of fun--that is, at least most of the time. This morning, the yougest son who is 6 years old got to go to the zoo with their whole class for the day. At the last minute, we realized that he needed to take a sack lunch with him for the day. He had a blue contanier that was too small, so I found this nice red one instead. His brother is 8 years old and their class did not get to go to the zoo. Probably a little jealous of his brother going to the zoo, he tells the youngest that the red container looks like a girl's. So I spent the next few miles trying to convince him that it does not look like a girl's container.That will probably bring back a few memories. I am just an ordinary ole' cowboy who has spent most of my life around cattle and horses. After several years of carrying this mobile phone with me, I have finally learned how to receive a text message. And I am thinking in the next few years, I might be able to learn how to send a text message.
