Our Latest Project

I've had my heart set on a curved sidewalk to tie our new front door and our old back door together. My dear husband is again learning something new. I think it will look great!

Harvest Review

Time in the truck with Daddy I love this picture of Grandpa and Evan in the combine coming up a water-way west of the house

Evan and I went up the hill one evening to check out what is left of some old teepee rings. How fascinating to think of Native American families living up there years and years ago... children playing, women visiting and cooking over a fire, men hunting, etc. It was so quiet up there, it was fun to let my imagination run...

Grandpa out in the field-

I couldn't resist taking this picture, because, you see, I always wanted to be tall!

Off to School!

The kids just headed off to school on the bus. The backpacks were heavy and the footsteps were light! They were both ready to go. Mom? Well, I'll be okay....

Happy Birthday Kyla!

This picture was taken in May 2005 when Kyla came for a visit with her Mom, Grandma, brother and sister.

Kyla, we wish we could transport you over for another little visit! So glad you and Lana got to chat on the phone today. We all hope you have a very special birthday.

Love,

Done for the Day

After an eventful day, all are safe and accounted for and shut down for the night. Most of the home place is cut....

John Deere Achilles Heel

After 10 minutes of cutting this morning, we had a breakdown. This tiny little part caused 300 miles of driving and 10 hours of down-time. Hope to be up and running again Saturday after an early morning run to the JD Dealership.

Home for the Harvest

• I appreciated Alison's harvest update last week, and maybe some of you are wondering how it's going...
• Gary finished cutting for Dad.
• Today was a good day for cutting, with only one small sprinkle this morning to shut them down for a few hours. They are still out "wrapping it up" this evening. Dad finished what was ready over North before we got here yesterday and has been working on the home place again.
• I thought it was fascinating to see a Porcupine waddle out from the field in front of the header while I was riding with Dad in the combine this evening! Lots of wildlife out there!
• Mattie thoroughly enjoyed her swim in the reservoir today.... We thoroughly enjoyed watching her.

Here are a few pictures....
