We had a nice day working with Jet.

What a blessed day! One of my favorite Masses. Right up there with Easter & Christmas! The procession was lovely.

Well the wind still works. Good gravy it was windy. We did get a lot done in spite of the wind today.

This day is usually bittersweet for me… In the midst of enjoying the long sunny days I can’t help but want to start preparing for the winter that’s coming. Soon we’ll start putting up hay and other activities that in the end really are a preparation for winter. It was misty most of the day, but the sun came through in the afternoon and it really is a gorgeous evening.

Our first strawberry! I’ll have to let it ripen, and it’s going to be an awfully small amount when I split it five ways for supper but it’s still exciting!

A neighbor’s bull was jumping into our heifers’ pasture. Typically we have them in a different pasture but due to all of the wind towers going up things have shifted this year. So, we spent this morning moving the heifers to a different pasture.

GU played a serious and intense Center team tonight.

He’s such a good worker helping water the pine trees Dad planted.

Starting discussion of Morton County Fair happening August 1-4 at the New Salem Fair Grounds.

Grandpa Gietzen surprised us by providing some fresh red scoria. He noticed that we were struggling with mud when it rained. He had a friend that knew a fella who has some good scoria. He did ok it with Andrew first. He had the road flattened out for us when we got home last night. The red looks so pretty against the green grass.
