Farm Update

I went out today to see the trench that Brett had dug with the back hoe, to fix a water line and to see if I could post these pictures and share a little of farm life with you. The faucet is by the workshop, so hopefully, when he gets the underground line fixed they can turn on the water and have water to drink and wash with and to work on machinery with there by the shed. ( I suggested that they also put in a water closet- but they didn't take me up on it.)
The little gray kitty is one of about six that we have running around and eating my cat food but not being very friendly. I'm am working on that. But mostly they are for catching mice.
The shot of the house is trying to show what I am spending most of my time on this summer. It is my yard and garden work. The garden is behind the fence. The field sprinkler is finally helping me water it.
The hay is only a small part of the first hay crop, the stack that is right here behind the house and still needs to be stacked. We were very blessed to get it in with very little rain!! Keep our fingers crossed for good prices. Okay...now I will try to get the pictures here with the words.

Hey!!! I am on , with more help from Dana. Trevor and Dana came to visit for a few days and we enjoyed that very much. Talvyn and Daxtyn are so good together! Daxtyn is walking and getting more expressive with his facial expressions. They took in all the tractors, hay haulers and rode in the swather and on the 4 wheelers. Dana got me set up for this blog and gave me some sewing project ideas, so along with the yard and garden, Primary work, family events and help, and reading "the 'Fire and the Covenant", I think that my summer will be full. I do like to lay out in the sun though, so I probably will still "work " that in.
We just celebrated my Mother's 79th birthday with visiting and cake and ice cream. We saw her new vinyl and carpet. It has been one year since my Dad died, so we remembered him and visited the gravesite too. His funeral was on her birthday and their 60th anniversary.
Well, Brett is in full swing with the haying season. The rain has been good and now the warmth will be good. I'd better get outside to do my walking before it gets too hot. (Dana, I did it!!)
