Concrete and Rain
The concrete arrived for the piers that we need for the new solar system. We got it all poured in with no problems. However, that evening, it started to rain. Our trenches started to fill up with water. Ken took the backhoe and dug an emergency ditch through the hay barn to keep the water Continue reading

Muddy Perspective
This is the aftermath of the big thunderstorm, which dumped about an inch of rain in less than an hour on our farm. With open trenches, no less! This was taken a couple of days late, but it’s better than the ones I took on the proper day. Prompt: The real world is in 3D. Continue reading

Soft & Dreamy
We don’t get things that look soft and dreamy, so I had ignored this assignment until the day before yesterday. When we get rain, we often get lots of rain. I was in the hay barn and got this shot before we got the emergency backhoe working and did some ditch digging to protect the Continue reading

Major Snow, AGAIN!
We woke up this morning to more snow! At least this one was a normal spring snow. It all melted by afternoon. We had no new lambs during this snow, which was nice. Continue reading

Our Farm
I cherish our small farm. Today, though, we had snow, which is not good during lambing. The light was harsh for most of the day. Prompt: Make a photo of something you cherish today in beautiful light. Arrange and move things if you need to. Continue reading

Even More Snow!
It’s already May, and we’re STILL getting snow. This is unusual, even for us. Most spring snows melt the same day. As things stand, we’re feeding out a lot more hay on pasture to make sure the sheep stay warm. Even the dandelions are confused by this weather. By late afternoon, it had fortunately started Continue reading
