    Well, hay feeding season is about finished, but you know what will last forever? The netwrap that is along the highways and by ways. Please don’t just throw it on to the flatbed. It will blow off. Always. Dispose of it properly as it will be there until Christ’s return otherwise.

     Well, that’s my circle for this week. I’m going to get off this windy ridge and call it a day. Have a great week, pray for rain for all those who still need it, pray for our nation earnestly, and may God Bless America.
