Hauling Hopper Bin Bottoms
Once again the days are moving along and the mile long list of winter time projects has been shortened a bit, but never as much as my husband would like it to be. I try to comfort him with the fact of, we-wouldn’t-want-to-run-out-of-things-to-do, but he never bites on that very well. I also argue that this-is-life and […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
Corn Harvest

Pete
The Pet on this Farm
I’ve been wanting to introduce you to one of the top priority pets on this farm. You’ve met Sprocket and various cats. This pet is more the pet of the farmer and his wife instead of the farm kids. I think the farm kids like it, but the farmer and mrs. farmer like it better. […]
