End of August already!

I can hardly believe August is about over.  So many things have gone on this month.

For the farm, we got about 15% of our pasture put in.  We will need 200 acres to leave cows out all day, everyday.  I took over one field this past fall and finally got it planted into something nutritious for the cows.  They enjoyed going out even when the field was wheat stubble mixed with some barnyard grass.  I feel bad that they are already back in just the old small turn out, but it's part of making a major change to the farm.  Time and patients, then more time and patients.

One reason I have not had much time for my blog is my mother in law.  I have been dealing with helping her and moving her.  Poor thing has had slight dementia for quite some time, but you had to be around her often to see it.  As with most families, the members that aren't around were hard to convince.  That just slows the process of helping her and gives the disease a bigger head start.  Sadly, she was totally delusional, being killed by "the man in the floppy hat" (a man only she saw and spoke with) before real help arrived.  She called the hospital herself because she thought she was being killed.   It is sad, but the best thing she could do for herself.   Now those distant relation have no choice but face the reality we were living with, Janet has real mental problems.  I hope she will make enough recovery to have some sort of decent life in a care home.  Her husband has had her moved to one of the best in the area.  Another sad reality, he would do anything for her, but she thinks he is trying to destroy her because she no longer is able to be logical.
