Fruit Cups! It wouldn’t be harvest time without frozen fruit cups in the freezer. They’re a pantry freezer staple during the summertime and wheat harvest around here. I have tried different recipes in the past. Anymore, I don’t really follow an exact recipe. I have a basic form and just add and dump and use whatever I have […]
Cinnamon and Sparky
Cinnamon and Sparky. The two baby calves on our farm right now. So dubbed by our daughter. They are pretty cute! Our farm isn’t much of a livestock farm most of the time. We do have bottle calves fairly often that grow up to provide beef for […]
Wheatscapes
It’s starting to look a lot like harvest…. And it’s only the 26th of May… There have been a few combines cutting in our county the last couple of days… Seems so funny. We are close to a month early! Harvest. It’s busy. It’s hectic. It’s hot. It’s dusty. Yet, there is something […]
So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Good-bye
Sob. Sniff. I’m somewhat of a sentimentalist. I admit it. I’m sad. Don’t laugh. I’m sad over a combine. Nuts and bolts and metal and paint. And an auger and a clean grain elevator and memories. Sob. Sniff. You see, last fall an opportunity to upgrade our combine sort of fell into our laps. It […]
Kansas Day Trip
I took a Kansas day trip yesterday with my husband. We needed to go to eastern Kansas to pick up our four-wheeler and an irrigation motor. My husband’s very youngest brother is an awesome mechanic and he had been working on/fixing both of these things for us. We didn’t take the most direct route since we had […]
This and That Around This Farm
WARNING: Many Pictures of various variety ahead!! I snapped a variety of pictures over the weekend and wanted to post some of them. There are a few around the house that I had been wanting to take and finally managed to snap them. Amazing the way I can procrastinate on some little things. Simply […]
My Dearie Had A Little Lamb, Little Lamb, Little Lamb
We have a little lamb on our farm. Just for a couple weeks. We are baby-sitting or lamb-sitting. Whichever way you want to refer to it. Both terms really do apply, because Frisky is a baby and he is a lamb! My dearie daughter is pretty much in love. She has been getting out of […]
It’s Coming Along…
As I upload these pictures and peck away at my keyboard, I am listening to the sound of shingles being laid on the garage roof. It sounds good! My husband is definitely needing to find a stopping point for the time being and move on to some of his projects for the farm. It will […]
Lots of Action
Progress Pictures and a Peterbilt
I’m throwing a few pictures on here of some paint and progress we are making on the house. They aren’t the best-it’s kind of hard to photograph some of the rooms very well. At least for me. bookcases and books that we moved into the upstairs… It is a blessing to be able to move […]
Milo Harvest
Finally, I am getting some pictures of milo harvest posted.. I don’t end up at the field as much when Matthew is cutting milo as I do when we are cutting wheat or cutting our irrigated circle. Cutting milo is just different. It usually involves cooler to colder weather and shorter days of cutting compared […]
Milo
Genesis 8:22 As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never cease. We definitely had the heat this past summer! A lot of heat and little rain. We can tell a difference in the crops in our fields. But, as long as […]

Drilling Wheat
Matthew 13:3 Then Jesus told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed.”…….
Corn Harvest
I like to take pictures. I don’t always take the time for it and I can get behind in getting them off the camera and in backing them up and in all the things that do go along with pictures. Or invariably, I don’t have my camera with me when I especially want it. That […]
