More Fun in the Field

Random pictures form our adventure.

We had the paper come out and interview Joe and Don. I think we had half the little town of LaGrange drive by or stop and watch us. Crazy how something that used to be normal has now become such a novelty.
Me and my big hat. This was Joe's idea. I looked, well, different, but it sure did keep the sun off.



My view.




Don Richards on the rake. We are so greatfull to him and his wife for all they did for us this year. We learned so much, had a great time and made friendships grow.

Horse Power

is all this needs to work. Our three girls could do the job but not for long. This thing still pulled to hard.

So Joe put them all on it. This worked much better. Problem was all five girls had never been hitched together. After some schooling for all involved things started to go fairly well. We ended up pulling the baler with the tractor to finish things up. Back to the shop for the baler for some adjustment and next year we should be in business.

What a day

Yesterday was a beautiful day to start making hay. We were in LaGrange at the Ward Trenching shop and when this little bit is done we move into Nebraska. Don Richards has been kind enough to let us hay half his circle and try out or ground driven baler.

First ones up

This morning I had broccoli up! It only took 3 days. I bought a heat mat this year because it is cool in the basement and last year it took almost 2 weeks for things to come up. I knew the mat would help them along but I never dreamed it would bring them up that fast.

This is where Joe was working today!
