Soybean Harvest 2016
Busy time. Busy place. The field. When a crop has matured and filled and the grain is dry and the plant is too; it is time. Time to pluck up what has been planted. There’s a certain amount of pressure. Work. Work hard. Work well. Work safely. Throw in a dash of haste…but not too […]
Sunset at the Bean Field
Just before evening starts to gather in…. The blue and the beans and the shadows, they brush bold across the canvas of earth and sky and creation sings, silent and swelling, muted and magnificent, rising around in praise to Creator God, bringing pause to whoever will take the time to notice…. I’m so glad that […]
Drilling the Wheat 2016
The squeak of the drill. The rattle of the press wheels. The throb of the tractor engine as it puts forth power. It is rhythmic. It speaks of the circle of life and seasons. It is a down deep cycle of farm life. It is a sound I love. And I love […]
We Chisel
The days are creeping away. We have been fertilizing and it’s time to think about wheat drilling. Here I am posting pictures of working ground and chiseling from earlier this summer. I think I still have harvest pictures I wanted to post. Though, it might be fun to look at dusty, hot harvest pictures […]
From Around the Farm
It’s picture time around the farm. These are spread out over the last several months. I edited a few earlier and placed them in a folder and never did anything else with them. Harvest pictures hang out still, wanting me to post some more. Or maybe it’s the other way around. Me wanting to post […]

Harvest Begins
We started cutting wheat Monday evening. My farmer man cut a sample and I carted it off to the elevator to find out the moisture on it. It came back with flying colors. 11.9% Our friend that works at the elevator said, “Tell him, he’d better get to cutting!” The grain was dry, but […]
Chit-Chat From Around the Farmhouse
I scroll through my pictures as I work on editing some of them and I realize I have a lot of pictures that I love, of life and details. The type of pictures that often ended up in my Monday posts. I start to edit and save some of them and I dump them […]
Easter Snow
I mentioned on Tuesday that we woke up to a gloriously, beautiful snow on Easter morning. Here are some of the pictures I took. Mostly from inside my warm house! The snow was clinging to the trees and mounded up elegantly on the porch posts. A winter wonderland! No other description! I really wanted some […]
On the Farm
Just a quick peek to a few things going on at the farm. Ag lime to haul and spread. Hauling some rock too. Which, of course, means rock to spread out and place in place, as well! Lovely sunshine and spring temps to work in, with just a windy day or two. Too many […]
Some Pictures of Some Cows and Some Other Stuff
Matthew was doing a few chores and checking cattle for his brother who was gone for a few days. I rode along and I took my camera along, as I rode along, and thus, along the way, at one of our stops I took some pictures of some of the cows. It was just a […]
Icy Winter
This is what it looked like for a few days around here right after Thanksgiving! Icy winter came to call. Ice is beautiful and it certainly puts on a dazzling display. Yes, it is beautiful. But treacherous too. Beautiful from inside a warm house. Not so wonderful when electric lines are jumping around like […]
