Catch The Moment Week #23

Our planting season has come to an end and now it is time to watch for issues and control what we can.  We will be preparing to head south to Ness City, Kansas.  We’ve had some interesting weather this week which usually means amazing sunsets.  Here are my pics for the week…

Wednesday evening we were on our way home from 4-H with severe weather warnings surrounding us.  A tornado was spotted west of us along the border, but did not touch down.  This photo is looking west towards Calvin, ND.  We had rain and ugly clouds, but that was it.

The boys had fun flying a kite until it got stuck in a tree.

Sometimes the sky is more colorful after the sun sets, this was one of those nights.

These 2 Mallards have hung out in our ditch all spring and are most likely the same pair we see every year.  This is the same ditch as the previous picture.

Sunday as we were trying to finish seeding we had strong winds with big rain drops interrupt our work briefly.  Sven & Ricardo hung out with Max & Sadie under the tractor after lunch until it quit.

We found baby ducks in our ditch!  The parents are above.  I haven’t seen them since I took this picture.  Peaches, our brown dog came home wet later that afternoon.  I am hoping she didn’t eat them and they took cover, but we have not spotted them anywhere.

Here comes trouble! We set Brett loose on Max’s four wheeler for the first time!  Mick turned it all the way down.  Brett did a great job and wore a big smile the entire time.  The big brother came out in Max who had to stop Brett once in a while to share some pointers.
