Tyke is Just to Short

Tyke struggles getting around every time he comes to the farm.  Everything is so much bigger than him and everything sticks to this hair.




Nothing but Garden

This weekend was nothing but the garden.  We planted the peas, green beans and tomatoes and yes my back is killing me, but we also got our fair share of broccoli. 

First picking....



It just gets bigger and bigger.


Ok, this is a picture of the smallest Bermuda plant ever.  John and I planted some Bermuda seeds over a month ago.  We had given up on it but this weekend, we are finding some signs of growth.

A Couple of days at the Farm


When grand kids come to the farm, there is nothing but playing going on.
 

Exploring

Nothing like Pawpaw's Smores

Totally crazy at bed time.

The tractor was Oli's favorite.


Playin' in the dirt.

More tractor silliness.

Anytime they are with Pawpaw, funny faces are in order.


Sorry, this was just pretty!


We Have Fish

 
 
For the longest time we thought our pond was barren, no fish. We don't seem to have problems with snakes, which usually frequents a pond with fish, we don't have birds hanging out at the pond, another sign of fish and we have never seen a lot of fish doing any back flips in it, hence thought there was no fish...
 
But Luv, the fearless fisherman, gave it a try to see if he could catch anything and YES BY GEORGE, we have fish.  Now the one he caught was not big, but still big for a perch.

Nothing But Cute

Have you seen anything so cute in your life.


 
This is papa struggling with making jewelry.
 


Garden

Well, the garden is well underway.  We have planted various plants, not sure if they will make it but thought I would try.

We have everything from broccoli, lettuce, potatoes, cabbage, corn, peppers, onions.  Some doing well, some doing well....not so well.

Cabbage

Lettuce

Broccoli

This was a couple of weeks ago.
 
Last weekend.
 


Another Project

John has come through yet one more time with another project, started and completed.

He fenced in an area so we can let the dogs (Fred) out without worrying about them running off.
