Clouds.......

These are some storm clouds we found moving across the northern part of the county and they were rolling up pretty good when we saw them. If you blow it up you will see a jet airliner passing in front of them.

As a kid, I used to lay under the trees and watch these in awe making all kinds of shapes and wondering what made them so poofy. Now if I am laying under a tree, as in this case, it is because I have fallen out of my lawn chair and rolled down the hill till the tree caught me.........:)

Pikkin and stuff.........

Jonathan and we (my word) had some fun yesterday afternoon picking cherries and a little playing in between, after all, you can't do chores without a little playing although he didn't know it was a chore.....and the farm cherry trees are overberrying with cherries (my word again, I have many) so there is plenty for everyone including the birds.......

I did notice Terry was still side dressing corn, Randy spraying beans, and poor Don running around like Lori at the buffet, trying to keep them both in goods while mowing in between.....hope he had his Wheaties......he tends to avoid me since the photo incident....go figure......:)

ooooooooooooodogie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tell you what, we just gotta have the best darn boss dudes a buncha people could have.....just look at what they just did do for us..... a brand new spick-n-span one of a kind just for us no holds (or water ) bard outin the wild blue gettin intouch with mother nature HOT TUB....Kim and Randy went all out on this gift have Jerry do some of his best craft work to date.....their is no end to how much we will enjoy this and it is going to be a great incentive for attracting new employees..........as you can see, I am the only one with cloths on cause I have such delicate skin......

KUDOS guys, it was a dream come true.....

Dustin was under the water at filming.................:)

Back in the Corn.........

As you can see, Terry is back in the corn doing, well, you know, and he is getting along okee dokee if the weather holds.

In case you city people don't have a clue (tee hee) as you can see their is a lot of mud on the tractor wheels and it is just everrwhere in the corn so Terry had to get some industrial cleaner (the big tank of AMONIA) to use on the corn and hopefully that will make it move away from all that mud...........

Any city folk that have any technical questions about the farm feel free to reach out and touch me any time, I can bee reached right here......but I am afraid I was touched earlier.........:)

OOOOOOOOOOOPS..........

"I'm mowing down what"......"Terry said if is green and sticking up to mow it down".......

"Am I bad"...............:)

For you city folk, that is corn all around the mower......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM, SUSAN AND SHIRLEY.......

Yep, the pair are another year older and celebrating with the kids in Chicago. At last report, Susan had blown all her candles out and went off with the boys while Kim, on the other hand, was projecting to have his blown out just in time to get back on the road for home Tuesday, go figure. Also celebrating today is Shirley Sheffler (you know, Lee's better half) so make sure you give them all a "Happy Birthday Spanking" when you see them......

This is a neat photo of a huuuumongiss giant kinda spider having a bee for lunch or dinner don't know a spiders schedule very well but neat none the less......:)

Two "Jons" in the garage.......

Resting after a long day of garage cleaning.......watching for the school bus........gazing at the garage door that is continuously going up and down for no apparent reason but, who cares........or trying to figure out who dressed Jonathan.......

Maybe it is just Grandpa and Grandson hangin out on a lazy kinda day.........

BRING THE HEAT..........

This field has got to be pushing a mile in length and if you look real close at the photo, on the right next to the woods, you will see the planter. Yep, Terry is puttin em in the ground, beans that is, but if we don't get some warmth they ain't gonna grow much. It is just too darn cold for anything to grow, even me, but somehow I have managed, but we need some above 50 degree nights to get things cooking and so far we haven't had it.

Today is Thursday and that means weaning day and it went as well as it could given our sows are all a little under the weather but I did see some signs of improvement as I walked amongst them (that sounds so profound, I like it, I'll have to be amongst more often, but shouldn't it be spelled amonkst..go figure) this morning at chore time. Mostly the day has been pretty smooth and lucky for us rather uneventfull (my word) but finally over. I have a date with the TV so I will take my leave of .....what ever.... and be gone...but most are home and relaxing at the end of the day and all is well on the farm once again........:)

Just Stuff..........

Well, I haven't been here in awhile, been a little under the weather, as opposed to being a little over the weather which would require being in an airplane which ain't gonna happen but speaking of airplanes Lori finally got to take her 5 year anniversary trip and FLEW to see her big brother Tony in Texas, or as she says "Tony T" sounds a little mafia like to me but maybe it is more like Mr. T, he won't fly either.....she did have a great time despite the bumpy flight and her nervous.............I'm done......

As you can see the planter is rolling and rolling rather well I might add. The last rain event didn't produce enough rain to keep it down for long and next week looks like it will cooperate as well. Terry got a little over 50 acres done Friday before the rain stopped him but it was time for a break anyway......

Got to go, I am being rattled......weekend chores are done, sun is shinning, flag is flying and all is well on the farm once again..............

Tulips have begun........

Ok, it looks like something from Star Wars but it's not, it's just a REALLY close shot of a Tulip opening up.......just wait till I find a worm.......:)
