Baby Update

As most of you know this small creature is going to be entering our lives…very soon!  Oh how time flies.  So here is just a small update on where we’re at, looking at just about a month until we are graced with the presence of yet another Frketich.

I am getting more fluffy….by the day…

The dogs are getting a bit more attention…

Diesel even got to be the first to get a rock in the new rocking chair (he looks thrilled!)

And the babies room is filled now with more “Baby Items” than hunting gear…

Except the corner with the gun safe & bear rug…It’s a long story!

And we have made a successful transition to having Matt be our main sprayer operator on the farm…Check out my video answering the 2014 Farmer Challenge:

Photo Friday…on Monday

Sorry I never realized that my post on Friday never actually was sent out….so here is this (or last) week’s photo Friday.

One of the biggest reasons we plant spring wheat is because usually it will grow faster than the slugs will eat it this time of year.  So here are a few photos to show you just how fast this stuff that we just planted has been growing like crazy!  This wheat was planted on the 13th of March.

Sunny Weekend Before the Rain

We worked hard all weekend and finally at the end of Sunday evening we headed off the farm and took our ’31 Model A hot rod out for a ride.

Here’s a photo of the car before the parade last year…

After a long weekend of spraying, planting and ground work it was sure nice to enjoy a bit of that sunshine and sunset.20140324-085054.jpg

Here’s a video, it’s not amazing but it’s kind of cool. It’s taken heading down Mahony Road just before you get to our farm.

So now we start again this morning. Everyone going ten different directions, they are still calling for rain tomorrow!
