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 […]
Baby Wheat
Green wheat glistening, Baby wheat blossoming, Slight breeze whispering, Tis truly amazing, Makes my heart sing, Thanksgiving to the mighty King, As I stand reflecting, On all the good He’s done for me. Let my praise pour out from me. Let me count my blessings. With upturned eyes, honoring, In His presence, glorying. Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2015
There Was Milo To Cut
There was milo to cut. So my farmer man, he cut it. The grain cart and tractor needed a driver. So my son, he drove it. There was a farmer husband and a tractor-cart driving son who were hungry and needed some food. {And some tea.} So Mrs. Farmwife, she took them some. There […]
Wheat Drilling 2015
When the sky is clear and blue and big and bright…. When the soil is worked and mellow and smooth and beautiful… When the days are shortening and the temps swing between warm and cool and leave you guessing at what they’re going to do…. When there is just a fall feel and a fall […]
Of Seed Wheat and Drilling
Seedtime and harvest as long as the earth remains. Cycles. Seasons. And it’s that time again. Time to screen and treat the seed wheat. Time to cultivate and prepare the ground. Time to drill the wheat seed. A time and a season for everything. Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2015

Happenings on the Farm: Fertilizer Spreading
Summer is waning, even if I don’t want to quite admit it or let it go. Though I did love opening up windows and enjoying the cool air, when our temperatures took a lower swing last week. Fall approaching. That means in the farming cycle that we keep preparing and sliding closer to the days […]
Memoir Monday {No. 83}
Summer swings along. Fieldwork to do. Tucker has been helping out a good bit with the irrigation system checking and running the tractor some, too. The girlies stayed and it’s fun to watch Renae care for them. They swam with us and Miss A. was so fun to watch. I continue just to notice […]
We Disk Ground
When harvest is over and combines put away and days rolling on by, it’s time to bring out the tractor and the disk and start in working acres to prepare the soil and the fields to plant again. To work the dirt and kill the weeds and cut through the stubble. Everything has it’s […]
It’s Harvest
More wheat harvest. It’s such a big part of our lives. It’s harried and hurried in ways. There’s a sense of pressure to harvest the ripe crop before heavy rains or hail decide to show up. It’s beautiful. It’s tiring. It’s heartland of America. It’s blessing. It’s awe-inspiring. Those fields of grain producing from […]
