My Sunflowers
These pictures of Ben and Angel at the sunflowers were just too cute to pass up.
Everything is so happy right now. The fruit trees look great. The olive trees are growing like weeds. So many ripe veggies. The dogs are enjoying the pond.
Our ducklings are just about ready to be set free in their pond. We built them an island which hopefully will keep them safe.
We have 2 new calves with 9 more to come from this year's fair heifers and more to come from last year's.
The windmill is so cool - I just can't seem to get enough of it. When I look at the turning blades I think, "That's a farm".
Our darling baby boy (well, he is 24 years old) is leaving in 3 weeks for boot camp. He has decided to join the army and serve his country. I am so proud of him, but so sad to see him go. He is going to South Carolina which will be a really big culture shock for him. James has lived here all his life and will really grow as a person. Please pray for his safety.
We have been planting 10' tall sycamore trees. The farm is changing so much every day that I can hardly keep up with it.
I think this is really my favorite time of year. Days are getting shorter (we can actually get into bed before 11:00) and the lighting is really beautiful. I can't wait to get on the tractor and start preparing fields for winter.
The beds are being prepped for fall crops.
My little filly, Sugar, is doing very well. She is such a doll. I just forgot how expensive it is to raise a little baby. Special food, halters, etc. Good thing I work.
Call us and come visit and pick veggies!
