Pictures from the farm...

I decided to lighten up the blog with some pictures from my hobby, the thing that I do to de-stress during the day--gardening! Oh how I love my flowers! So check it out!

Pretty pansies in the garden looking into the yard at the heifer facilities.

Bubble bees often pay us a visit at the farm. I am trying to capture a picture of my butterflies, but they move so much faster :)

I waited 2 years to see this Tiger Lilly bloom, and let me tell you, it was worth it! So gorgeous!

Heifers at sunset at the farm...the orange sky was so awesome in person!

My landscaping project with my flowers at early July. The steel tanks are the milk tanks that we store our milk in and cool it. I will update with more pictures as the flowers fill in the garden!

Blink and you'll miss it!

I can't believe it, I blinked and I missed it! Which is especially frustrating since I wanted to capture it on video....planting corn that is. I was hoping to capture video of my father in law planting the last field of corn for this year, and I blinked (left the farm to run some errands in town) and I missed it. We had one field of corn left, it rained last night-much needed rain. So I thought that I had plenty of time to go to town. My father in law was eager to finish, and as soon as the field dried off a little, so at 3 pm he went to the field. I am proud to report that we are finished planting the corn crop. We have some more manure to haul and then we can finish planting soybeans and sweet corn. It's nice to know this year we will finish planting before we start cutting our first cutting of alfalfa.

Other than that, nothing new to report from the farm. I am eager to get into the flower beds and work on making the yard "pretty" again. The prep work for the pre-school tour has started and we are also working on scheduling a tour for a local high school Ag class. It's May and very busy at the farm!
