August

The cool weather offered us an excuse to escape to the pond on the hill. We had a great time throwing sticks for Ty.

That is, until Emmett threw the zoo car in the pond.

You can tell that Ty understands that he needs to do something VERY important. He just doesn't know it's that little, orange box that is so critical.

Ready for Winter

Triticale in windrows.

In the bale.

In the barn.

Great-horned supervisors.

Triticale

Since it's getting hard to see Kent in the triticale, it's time to cut it. We'll do that today. Don't worry-- it's for hay, not grain. The cows will thank us around January.

Beets, Carrots and Kohlrabi

Would we sufficiently appreciate this summer bounty had it not been for the long winter of eating cabbage and potatoes?

Dinner Outside

Sometimes these hot summer days beg for a dinner of pizza on paper plates and good friends.
