I think less than half of the 34 contestants stayed on their bull 8 seconds. More time was taken in getting ready for the next bull rider. A few times I yawned. Donna thought I was bored. Actually I was a little tired. When I got home at 10 pm I watched the local news and weather. I don't think I made it through the next commercials before I fell asleep sitting on the loveseat. I woke up over two hours later at 12:30 am. Daisy who went outside when I was watching the news was eager to get back in the house. After checking on the cattle's water trough, I went to bed.
You'd think I would get up earlier than usual the next day. Nope. Daisy woke me up to go outside at 6:50 am. Even though I had slept for 8 1/2 hours I quickly fell back asleep. I checked and called for her a half hour later and she was nowhere to be found.
At 7:50 am I was awoken to a loud bang against the living room window. I got up and looked. A squirrel was on the ground digging in the snow for any missed sunflower seeds. Apparently the squirrel had jumped for the suet cage and missed. Even with 9 1/2 hours of sleep, I quickly fell back asleep.
Fifteen minutes later I was awoken to a softer bang against the widow. This time I found the squirrel wrapped around the suet cage and trying to eat suet as the cage swung here and there. I knocked on the window glass and scared the squirrel off.
I waited and the squirrel made its way back up the shrub. When I saw which branch it planned to jump from to the cage I decided to get up for the day. I trimmed the shrub lower. I'll learn tomorrow if this finally works.
Today I put out two more large hay bales for the cattle. Since I had left the tractor's bucket in the back yard and not the corral I was able to easily put it back on the tractor. I scraped up the remainder of the last snowfall from the yard and driveway, then drove out to scrape clear another area for the two hay feeders. The previous area was mucky with water from melted snow and manure.
