We lucked out this time and are only dealing with a nasty wind and overcast sky. I have been thinking about our friends and family in Harwood, ND that are dealing with flooding and having access issues to their homes. Also, I have been thinking of and praying for our friends and family in Eastern ND and MN. April storms can be disheartening and I sure feel bad for the baby calves!

The start of our garden.

Two exciting happenings… the garden seed has arrived (now I better start them!) & The gate is ready to be hung!

Thousands of Cranes left the marsh this morning. I think this is what they are: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandhill_crane they flew right over our house on their way out.

Andrew was able to join us for some leisure fun after school and work today.

Come at a cost…. cleaning the chicken coop is part of the price. However, when done as a family activity, cleaning the coop can be sort of fun.

We had to get a heifer back in to the correct pasture. The fence will be checked today.

What a year!

All the boys are growing up!

We took our first bike ride tonight.
