Catch The Moment Week #20 May 14, 2013–May 20, 2014

We’re finally planting!  It’s been a crazy week around here.  The kind that you wish would just end.  If it could break down it did!  It must have been a challenge God chose for us and we survived!  I think we were all glad when this week was over!

 

Day-135

Wednesday night sunset

Day-136

We woke up to frost on May 15!

Day-137

We were finally able to start planting.  Mick is planting flax here on our home quarter.  I hope we’re home when it is in bloom!

Day-138.2

Saturday we had a 4-H meeting.  The Lundquist girls gave our group a sheep showing demo and showed us how to sheer a sheep.  They did a wonderful job!

Day-139

Life on the farm…what a week.  It seemed if it could break down it did!  The washer & dryer both took a dump along with some other things.  It’s next to impossible to get repair work done on anything around here.  Of course, it typically happens at the worst possible time.   We usually end up doing it ourselves.  Thanks to YouTube, codes and Amazon a person can fix just about anything!  Our guys were Whirlpool repair men tonight.  We had a pen tear a hole in the washer gasket and the element went out on the dryer.

Day-140

I drove the four-wheeler down the road to catch the sunset by some water.  I was mud splattered by the time I returned home, but it was worth it!

Day-141

We went to Mick’s grandparents’ farm today.  I noticed the old truck was showing its true colors with the clouds.  I’m sure it has plenty of stories to tell from the 8 girls they had.

Catch The Moment Week #17

I’ve gotten behind on Catch the Moment 365 but have done fairly well at taking a picture everyday.   I only missed 1 day this week.  We are getting back in the swing of things.  Our crew is all here and there is LOTS to be done.  Here are my pics for the week.

Our pink sunrise.

The dogs were hunting for a mole and only came up with a salamander.  You can still see the snow in the trees.

Catch The Moment #16

Things are picking up around Brown Acres.  The blog is always the first thing to go.  I’ve done fairly well at taking photos but have difficulty finding time to post them.  Here are my pics for week #16.

Day-107

Day 107 Several swans were swimming south of our place.

Day-108

Day 108 Max was showing off his new Brazil shirt from one of our new guys, Ricardo.

Day-109

Day 109 I made chocolate pizza.  Ricardo had been telling us about this delicious chocolate pizza they have in Brazil.  We baked a pizza crust topped with mozzarella then poured melted chocolate chips on top.  It was served with ice cream.  It was delicious!  Ricardo said the mozzarella they use is a bit sweeter.  He loved the homemade ice cream.

Day-110

Day 110 We moved some equipment home to prepare it for the field.
