Office View from the Farm

It’s hard to think that even a Monday can be to too terrible when it starts off with a view like this….

All you farmers enjoy the no rain today and pick up all the branches that came down in the big storm this weekend!

I guess you could say this is a Photo Monday for you, doesn’t quite roll of the tongue like Photo Friday, but this week it will have to do.

 

Photo Friday…What is Growing?

Well it’s spring…full blown spring.  Which means everything around us is growing at an alarming (good kind of alarming) rate. We have had some great sunshine, mixed with some warm rain.  Here’s a pic of how the farm dog Yukon deals with a little spring rain…

Yukon ready for the Rain

I took this photo while driving to work today, spring wheat that is moving up to the sun in what seems like inches every day!

Spring Wheat and hazelnutsThe grass is moving up to knee height, and boots are now a requirement if you want to walk fields and not soak your jeans.  The headlands are full of weeds to be sprayed back before they infect our seed crop.  But as my Grandpa Carl would have said, “If weeds don’t grow…nothin’ will grow.”

And the thing that I notice the most is my growing belly…baby Frketich is only a few weeks away!
