Busy Summer

When we first baled hay early in the summer, we could hardly find a dry day to go over the ground.  We just baled again today and there is hardly enough grass to bale due to the drought.  The first calf in three years that had to be bottle/bucket fed came home on the truck 3 weeks ago.  He was a twin, and the mother only fed one.  The twin is brown with a white face.  Calving has been difficult this year.  We have lost 1 cow and 4 calves.  The heat is certainly hard on everything!  Inside in the air conditioning, lots of jam has been made for Holly's upcoming wedding reception at the farm.  Blueberries shown here add to the strawberry, rhubarb, and peach ready for October 1st. Back to school this evening for my first meeting of the year.

Memorial Day Weekend

Ron dug out his 70's fishing rod and replaced the string and added a new lure for a future fishing date.

Memorial Day Weekend

Farmer Ron spent Memorial Day wisely while waiting for the ground to dry out enough to plant. His first goal was to hunt the mole that was living under our deck. He was successful by having lots of patience, and our catfish were grateful for the treat!
