8.8.19

Did you know it's national sneak some zucchini on your neighbors porch day? Ha ha!  Anyone who has grown zucchini before knows how those plants produce like crazy. Our neighbors planted a whole row of it this spring- they are going to have a pile of zucchini!! :) 

Usually a couple of plants are great plenty for us. Do you have a favorite zucchini recipe? If so, you should share it with us. 
We picked our first "crop" today: and it looks like we could have picked them sooner. 

And if you are to lazy to sneak it on your neighbor's door step here is another option:

It was a busy day here, and a couple of us were in the mood for taking pictures so here are a few for your enjoyment:

I had gotten a hint that it was about time for some doughnuts around here: so I made some for breakfast,  They must have been good, since very few of them were left after breakfast. 
 


The arena got an upgrade, thanks to Mr. B who hauled sand for us today! 



Matt tried to cut hay today, but broke down twice... 
Someone will be doing a parts run again tomorrow.

Sal has been on the farm for just over a year now! 
She is learning to be a bit more of a help---sometimes. :) 
She looks scared in this picture because she is photo shy- seriously, the camera comes out and she tries to hide.

A Spring Get-Away

We had a great trip this past weekend. Our family was able to get away for a few days before everything gets really busy on the farm. We headed south to the state of Missouri, and it was really fun to see tall green grass and trees fully leafed out, but then hard to come home to cooler weather, bare trees and brown. But spring is on it's way here too, right? (As I write this, it's cold outside and it's snowing- Can I go back to MO?) Enjoy some snapshots of the trip. The Laura Ingalls Wilder cabin near Pepin WI. I've always enjoyed her books and it was interesting to see just how small the "little house in the big woods" was. Only now it's surrounded by fields and cleared land. Not very big is it?! We made a stop at Bass Pro Shop near Des Moines (a city that was incorrectly pronounced for fun the entire trip). This was probably Silas' favorite part of the trip. He loved it and could have spent hours there.... however some of us were ready to ...

Montana 2024

   For our family trip this year we went to Montana! We took lots of pictures and I am finally getting some shared with you. Enjoy! On the way out, we stopped to see the North Dakota badlands in Teddy Roosevelt National Park.     The first night we camped at a campground on the East edge of Glacier National Park. The next day, we made our way through the park. Then we crossed the 560' Hungry Horse Dam and camped on the reservoir. The next day we went for a hike. Huckleberries!! The mountainside was covered in huckleberries and we had a lot of fun picking some to bring home. We went back to the East side of the mountains to camp that night, then hiked part way up the mountain the next morning before heading for home.
