Farm work

I decided I'd better do an update since I have a little time because it's raining out. We have been so busy lately! This morning I raked about 5 acres of hay that we were hoping to get off the field before it rained. Mike decided to bale while he could so Ben and I needed to unload 2-3 wagons. Praise the Lord for neighbors like the Brocketts who were willing to come over and give us a hand at a moments notice! We were able to get the wagons done, but a part on the baler broke and then it began to rain. Good timing.

We have been very busy doing hay, picking strawberries, weeding our big gardens and other things so I haven't been able to take many pictures of our activities. Here are some from a few weeks ago.

Jonathan is disking up the field where we planted 550 lbs of seed potatoes and some rows of sweet corn. Ben is watering our new 1000 strawberry plants since then it was very dry.

Randy loves to ride on wagons with his nose up smelling the wind and his tail waving like a flag. =)

Our strawberry patch that now has no white but lots of red! Sweet, juicy red berries (no pictures for fear you might start feeling hungry).

Done!

Going home.

Well, we have been taking other pictures that are new... =)

We just can't help but take pictures!

Unfortunately, most of our family have been working through colds so only Grandma and Grandpa have been able to go see little Boaz. But as you can see, they enjoy it very much!

Beware, Boaz! We're coming soon! =)

May I introduce to you....
