Cemetery and Clean Up

It was a beautiful day today.  It reached almost 70 degrees and had a nice wind from probably 10-15 mph.  After walking up to water the stock cows and the ewes, dad and fed the south lot before I went to help mom mow and weed-eat the township cemetery.  Our family has been the groundskeepers for this cemetery since my sister was in high school.  When my sister no longer did it, I did it, and when I wasn't here, my parents mowed and weed-eated it.  The cemetery is located about half a mile from my house, so it's convenient to get to and work in.  This afternoon I did some odd jobs that have been needing done.  I put oil in the Mac skidloader, cleaned out old oil buckets, and picked up the barnyard.  I also looked at the corn planter with dad for a bit as he explained how some of the different parts worked.  I'll have to examine the manual and other pieces of literature dad has on it to get a real clear sense, and once I actually work the machine and see how it works, things will make sense to me.  Still, it's nice to go over these things with dad.  Dad is really great about explaining things in a different way if you don't understand it the first time.  There's so much to learn, but it will be nice to learn it from my dad.  So, yeah, today was a good, productive day.
