A Look Back at the First Week of April {hello monday}
Hello Monday! Hello to what we did last week! We played with this little miss and we ordered a baby gift for our new baby niece and cousin. We went together with family for a portable highchair and we found a couple of cute little dresses to wrap up for the new baby. We read […]
Life is a Vapor
My husband and son loaded up into our 1986 GMC work pick-up with our hopper wagon hooked on behind it. A sweet, old hopper wagon that we pulled all the way home from Ohio one year after Christmas. Hopper wagons weren’t used in Kansas like they were and are in the east. I like having […]
More Milo Harvest and Thankfulness Too
Pictures of cutting our dryland milo that I’ve been wanting to post! Editing and posting pictures takes time and I never get it done as quickly as I’d like! Somedays I think blogging is too time consuming and other days I love it! I do love taking pictures and editing them and this is a great way […]
Here Comes a Combine…

More Drilling Photos
What a dry and dusty year. We have watched with awe, thankfulness, and praise as the wheat comes up, despite its need for moisture. It points so much to our Creator and His power. Who else can put so much in such a little package as a kernel of wheat? So tiny, yet made to die and burst […]
Another Week of Family and Farm
Hello to memories and happenings recorded from last week! Hello Cream Cheese Chicken Chili served over rice! A new recipe I tried that was very simple and turned out pretty yummy. Hello to seventy and eighty degree weather most of the week. It was sunny and beautiful, fall weather even though we still so badly […]
Hay Bale Play
I really think that a row of hay bales was truly meant to be a playground. They seem to attract children. I’ve watched my own kiddos play on hay bales many times and I’ve seen other photos of other kids playing on hay bales and I’ve watched many kids having fun on the hay bales at the […]
Doing Some Dry and Dusty Drilling
Psalm 126:5-6 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. KJV And now, God, do it again—bring rains to our drought-stricken lives. So those who planted their crops in despair will shout hurrahs at the […]
There’s More Than One Way To Get A Workout
I picked up my phone to look at the picture message it had just received. The picture was of our end dump trailer. And a largish pile of milo on the ground behind it. The message? Well, it read, “Anyone want to come help me?” The sender? My farmer man. I showed the picture to my […]
Cutting Our Milo
We’ve been cutting some milo! Well, my husband has been. He doesn’t have a very machinery-operator-friendly wife. I’ve been taking pictures and running errands and taking some food and snacks over to the field. And now I’m posting some pictures. Cause I do that better than I drive truck. Cuddling down inside the truck sleeper. It was […]
Another Week on This Farm{Hello Monday}
Hello to dishcloths ready to mail and hello to getting them mailed! 🙂 Hello to fun mail that isn’t just bills or offers or product magazines! Hello to getting a letter from our youngest niece with this cute little Indian, she colored, in it! Hello to his cheery presence on my fridge! Hello to pie crusts in the […]
Hello Happenings!
I’m amazed at how long ago the beginning of a week can seem. When I flipped through to see what pictures I had taken this past week, I thought, “We did that just the beginning of the week?” It seemed like it was much longer ago! Hello to painting fun and art class and creating […]
Hand-Knitted Farmhouse Dishcloth Giveaway-Just Because!
How about a giveaway just for the fun of it? I have been enjoying knitting dishcloths again and I thought it would be fun to offer to give three dishcloths to someone! They are not made by a professional of any sorts, but if you’ve ever used hand-knitted dishcloths and loved them, or if you never have, but would […]
My Beloved White Fence
About three and a half years ago, we put up a white fence on two sides of our backyard at our old farmhouse. I have really, really loved my white fence. It made our small yard seem cozy. The end of last summer found a big storm with big wind moving through our backyard. This […]
Hello to This and That!
When I took my walk this morning, I really wondered where the summer has gone?! The air was cool and crisp and definitely had more of an autumnish feel to it. Hello to making pumpkin cookies and pumpkin pie last week! I must be more ready for fall than I think I am. Hello to […]
