Memory Loss

I guess I should feel good that the farmer forgets everything else around him while he's talking to me on the phone.....or should I?  If I like to mop I should.
My farmer had called me about something while he was filling a big bucket of water for the calves.  Yes, he forgot that the water was running and running and running.....all over the floor in the calf  shed. About 2 inches...I get another call..."Hey do want to do me a favor?"  Sure!  Did I sound enthusiastic enough?  Seems he wanted me to clean up the mess he made with the water.  Well, being a farmer's wife that's what I'm here for to jump in and help whenever he needs me.  (Plus it was really my fault, right?) That floor needed a good spring mopping anyways!
What a way to start another 'day on the farm!'

"What a mess! Better call the farmer's wife!"
 The pictures don't really show how much water there actually was on the floor.


 Did I mention that there is no drainhole in the floor so it had to be swepted out the door!

How sweet, when Karl talks to you, he forgets everything else! :) That can be good & bad at the same time.
