Picking Up Soybeans

Today started off with a dense fog, and it remained overcast all day.  The humidity kept it at that weird temperature where too many layers left you too warm and removing layers felt you not quite warm enough.  Over the weekend we did manage to accumulate about an inch of rain, though, so all is well.  We fed the west and south yards, sorted out a few cull ewes to sell tomorrow, and put the Mac skidloader back together.  Because the weather didn't threatened anything serious, but it so muddy we couldn't do a whole lot, dad and I went to Peoria to pick up our order of soybeans.  It was a nice ride and we had a nice visit with our distant relatives (who own the company where we purchased the seed).  It has been years since I've seen them, and we exchanged a few family stories before loading the trailer.  We ordered 120 bags, which equals two pallets.  Dad and I unloaded the pallets at the Bradford farm, so I helped move about three tons of seed today.  It felt great!  When we finally got back, we finished up with chores and concluded our day.
