Farm Life

 We have been getting a LOT of rain.
But there was a little break.
So we broke out the tractor and tiller
and re-seeded the middle pasture
with sunn hemp and brown top millet
again on Tuesday.


I love the look of a freshly tilled and planted pasture.
And since the ground isn't powder dry,
its a nice, rich dark color.


The garden is also LOVING all this rain.
We actually saw our first baby bean
yesterday when we were out checking.

So give it a few more days and we should
be in bean heaven!
The first two beds on the left are
zucchini and yellow squash.
Yes, we are trying again.
Hahahaha.
Then a couple of beds of okra.
Might be too late for those,
but we had some extra beds,
so thought why not.

And the rest of the garden is beans.
Well, except for one tunnel.
Kyle did two different kinds of cucumbers
on the two sides of the further away tunnel.

But otherwise....? BEANS!


Cat 4 Hurricane Fiona is churning out in the ocean
off our coast - a gazillion miles away,
but she sucked all the clouds away.
And brought HUGE waves!
We only see waves like this when there is a hurricane.
Just glad it wasn't also a full moon!
It was an hour away from high tide and there
was already very little dry beach left.
But we enjoyed an hour sitting and watching
and listening to the power of the ocean
after a busy day at work for both of us.

And now?
Time to get ready for my morning class.

Happy Friday!!!!!

Great update. Looks like beautiful property. I bet you were excited just say it. Now you get to do some planning for the next couple of years with a goal in mind.
We are driving to the Grand Canyon today and hiking tomorrow. Keep us in your thoughts so that we don't fall off the cliff or that our legs don't seize up Ha ha.
