Catch The Moment Week #20 May 14, 2013–May 20, 2014

We’re finally planting!  It’s been a crazy week around here.  The kind that you wish would just end.  If it could break down it did!  It must have been a challenge God chose for us and we survived!  I think we were all glad when this week was over!

 

Day-135

Wednesday night sunset

Day-136

We woke up to frost on May 15!

Day-137

We were finally able to start planting.  Mick is planting flax here on our home quarter.  I hope we’re home when it is in bloom!

Day-138.2

Saturday we had a 4-H meeting.  The Lundquist girls gave our group a sheep showing demo and showed us how to sheer a sheep.  They did a wonderful job!

Day-139

Life on the farm…what a week.  It seemed if it could break down it did!  The washer & dryer both took a dump along with some other things.  It’s next to impossible to get repair work done on anything around here.  Of course, it typically happens at the worst possible time.   We usually end up doing it ourselves.  Thanks to YouTube, codes and Amazon a person can fix just about anything!  Our guys were Whirlpool repair men tonight.  We had a pen tear a hole in the washer gasket and the element went out on the dryer.

Day-140

I drove the four-wheeler down the road to catch the sunset by some water.  I was mud splattered by the time I returned home, but it was worth it!

Day-141

We went to Mick’s grandparents’ farm today.  I noticed the old truck was showing its true colors with the clouds.  I’m sure it has plenty of stories to tell from the 8 girls they had.

Catch The Moment Week #19

It finally feels like spring around here!  We were able to finally get in the field and get rolling!  It will be crazy busy now until harvest at home. Here are some of my captures from the week.

Day-128

This is an entrance to the cemetery where my relatives are buried.  My dad made the entrance structure before I was a teenager.  He was a master welder and could fabricate almost anything out of what most people would call junk.  I lost my dad in November 2012.

Day-129

Thursday the guys hauled wheat to the ND Mill in Grand Forks, ND.

Sunday – Sven finally got to drive a tractor.  He has been patiently waiting for things to get rolling.

Day-133

Mick was spreading fertilizer on our flax ground.

Day-134

Brett and Sadie decided to nap in the greenhouse.  It was the only warm spot around here.
