Honestly, Missouri weather is weird. I mean, we could get 7 inches of snow, and the storm might miss us altogether. No joke. I've seen it happen.
Missouri gas prices are NO JOKE. Regular unleaded gasoline in Eldon is $3.69. It was $2.99 back in November. The prices just seem to keep going up every couple of days, and for no apparent reason other than we will pay it so they will charge it.
Today is the day our heifers are to begin calving. We have already had 2 baby calves born today. Could be a long night tonight, and a long day tomorrow if those heifers start having babies in the snow and sleet and rain.
So God made a farmer . . . . . .
STAY SAFE EVERYBODY!!!!!!!
I paid $3.66 today and it's still going up. I think we're supposed to get that storm after y'all; it's said to be a real humdinger!
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds nasty I hope your calves hold off we had some born in that weather it was nasty but all was well for them but I was wet:)
ReplyDeleteGas is sold by the liter here in Canada and we are paying $1.25 a liter I think four of our liters make one of your gallons. Gas sure is expensive. Stay safe in the storm. B
Why do those babies always come during a storm?! I am hunkering down at home, but I pray for all those who have to be out in it. And also that the power doesn't go off :) You and yours stay safe.. -Tammy
ReplyDeleteYour blog is delightful! I just signed up to follow you.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day,

Had 90 cents off from Safeway this week so I got it for 2.69...filled up two cars and a 5 gallon gas can. Due to a job in another city we are filling up my hubby's car 4 times a month...ouch!
ReplyDeleteHoping you're night is warmer than it looks...maybe the babies will come during the day instead!!
Love our farmers and their families!!
Brrrrr! I hope you and the critters all stay warm! Our gas here is $3.80 today. Changes each day....Be sure and post some cutie calf pictures.
