We came over east to the farm to help Dad with harvest again this year. We're here for the week but haven't been doing any harvesting yet. It's been too wet following showers through the weekend and off and on through the last few days. The men have used this down time to do some mechanic work and maintenance on the machinery in the machine shed.We got here on Saturday and spend the weekend playing with cousin's Evan and Lana before they left early Monday morning...
Riding bikes and reading comic books is always more fun with cousins...
We found some chokecherries yesterday!
The four wheeler has been getting some good use...
I love this picture. Everyone looks SO intent on the task at hand...
Here are the girls sitting on the idle auger in front of the empty grain bins...
Kyla has been looking for pretty rocks and washing them off...
And even though the harvest has been held up, no one has been bored...
And what have I been doing? Reading the Janette Oke- Love Comes Softly Series, cooking meals, playing with my kids, going 15 miles to town for groceries, taking pictures, enjoying reading everyone's comments on my last post, and I even got to talk to Carin a couple times on the phone. If her poor little man wasn't sick right now they would be here right now and we would be visiting face to face while our kids played their hearts out... but maybe next time!Is there any other way I would rather spend my summer vacation?
I think not.
And that's the news from this farm.
Keep in touch,

It's been so nice to chat on the phone. I sure wish we could have come over. I thought Bode was doing better but tonight he was back up to 102 and he keeps saying "owie". Makes me so sad for him.
Great pictures! Looks like you are having fun even though there's no harvesting just yet. The kids look like they are having fun and YOU sound like you are having a nice, fun, relaxing time. Enjoy yourself!
Sounds wonderful! Quite "idealistic" actually, and I'm sure it's not really perfect, but oh my, what a wonderful life!
Thanks Carin, I am!
Max, It does sound kind of idealistic but you realize, as "real life" it is not perfect.
But life is what you make it, right?
I enjoy your pictures so much. The kids are growing up so fast. Am sure Grandpa enjoys having them there - and also Randy and you. Brings back memories of days I spent on that same farm. Think so much of Aunt Ruth and wonder how she is doing?
