The Rest of the Crops

I’ve been traveling all weekend for a wonderful, incredible, amazing wedding of a great friend!  So I’m being a bit “blog lazy” and putting more pictures up for today…Enjoy!

Grass Seed Heads are coming out…

Clover Update Today…

We have been getting a little rain around here and it was just enough to knock down the beautiful clover and start making them turn a bit on the mature side.  So if you got out and were one of the 10 cars that stopped on the side of the road by our house this weekend…you’re timing was impeccable!

Baby It’s HOT Outside!

We’ve been having some crazy warm weather out here in Oregon! It’s been over 80 for the past couple of days, which means things are drying out like crazy!  Irrigation has started, which is pretty early for this part of Oregon.

I took this picture the first night I turned on the water, what a beautiful sunset! Irrigation usually means, late nights at the pump and early mornings moving pipe.

The crimson clover is also coming along very nicely with this hot weather.  I’m afraid it’s going to be an early year (which doesn’t make a farm girl look too good when she’s trying to get married at the end of June…oopsie!)

Pretty soon these beautiful crimson heads will be covering the whole field, makes it look awfully incredible, more of those photos to come soon!!

We are also getting a lot of work done around our house.  With daylight lasting longer, Matt and I are both working full days and then coming home to get a few more hours of work in.  Matt has found a new toy to keep him busy, it’s really “good” with trees 🙂

We’re tired but happy, and still loving our new place.  Keep that sun shining, we’ll keep working away!
