Will just got it back up to the house when it started smoking. (He almost ran over our manure spreader!) A black day on the Clay-Atkinson ranch as haying season is just starting and we bought that tractor primarily to run our big round baler! Will says he thinks it started out as the throwout bearing going and that it probably took the clutch out as well. He can repair it but has to pull the radiator, fuel tank, and engine!

We got 16 berries. They weren&#8217;t quite ripe but the birds were starting to sample them. We&#8217;d never tasted them, so Will split them up and we all got a taste. They were a bit tart, tasting like a blueberry-plum-apricot mix, depending on who commented. We&#8217;ll definitely plant more. And net them to keep the birds out next year. &#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday Will was hauling manure out onto our new pasture on the new forty acres and after seven loads, the clutch started acting up.
