When your fields are gold think Brown
We spent the week preparing equipment for the field, running to appointments and hauling what was left of our wheat. Here are my pics for the week.
Our beautiful sunset just a few miles south of our yard.
What a gloomy day, everything is still very brown.
I made a cake for a neighbor’s church fundraiser.
May 3rd and we had snow!
I brought Sadie to one of my favorite parks.
May 5th was also a snow day!

I’ve gotten behind on Catch the Moment 365 but have done fairly well at taking a picture everyday. I only missed 1 day this week. We are getting back in the swing of things. Our crew is all here and there is LOTS to be done. Here are my pics for the week.
Our pink sunrise.
The dogs were hunting for a mole and only came up with a salamander. You can still see the snow in the trees.
Today’s farm view – hauling and drying wheat.
It’s still pretty brown in the area. Our winter wheat hasn’t turned green yet.

The ducks and geese were enjoying their day in the water.

The days have flown by for me as usual. I even thought I missed getting pictures a few days. But between my camera and phone I had each day covered. I even included extras this week. I cannot even believe March is over! I thought I was going to get so much more done. Now I find myself picking 1 or 2 projects I want to complete before we head south. It will be here before we know it! Here are my pics for the week…
During lent, we have Wednesday church with potluck. I walked outside to get my food just as the sun was setting.
Oh Brett. I left the room for a minute and he fell asleep eating his pizza.
Friday we had lunch at the Dairy Queen in Lakota on the way to Grand Forks.
Saturday was a Bountiful Basket Food Co-op day. I love basket days! It’s a co-op we can order from every other week with pickup in Devils Lake. It’s all volunteer and direct from farmers.
On Sunday, church was cancelled. Unfortunately, it was due to our pastor being hospitalized for illness. He should be out later this week.
The guys took a dip in the hot tub before breakfast. I joined them for a bit too. It was a great start to the day!
This was one of my projects this week. I removed the closet rod, cut some boards, screwed them to the studs, painted and installed hooks. It is so much better! Even my littlest guy can hang up his coat now! The closet was also a test plot for painting our original linoleum – circa early 80’s. I hope to paint the bathroom, laundry and kitchen floor sometime this month. We’ve been wanting to add-on but it hasn’t happened yet. I can’t stand the thought of living with our floor for another year, so this is my solution. I can’t wait to have it all complete!
Brett and Sadie making the slow trek to the shop across the slippery rough ice in our yard. The poor dogs have been wiping out all week on it.
I have some extras for this week, with things starting to get crazy busy around here I’m not sure if I’ll be able to keep up with this regularly.
Tuesday we met Mick just as he was coming down the hill headed for home. He was hauling wheat to the ND Mill in Grand Forks. It’s 140 mile drive and usually means sitting in line all day. Currently he has only been able to haul about once a week. He takes a load whenever they will let him. The ND Mill is the only place around taking wheat and only on certain days for farmers. The other days are for area elevators to haul. There is a huge train shortage in North Dakota affecting grain transportation. It is due to train delays and the oil boom in western North Dakota.
We went flying for a little bit on Tuesday afternoon. This is downtown Hannah, ND. I was standing in front of the sea-green building in the center when I took my first picture above.
This is our yard from the mailbox during the snow melt.
This was taken through our pickup windshield on Friday. For about 20 minutes the sun had a full circle around it. It’s called a 22° halo and from what I’ve been reading is the same concept as sun-dogs.
I drove Max to school one day so he could sleep in. The sun was rising in my mirror on our way.
