Storm a Brewin'

Not too much to report around here. I returned to school this week so I don't always know what is actually going on around the farm on a daily basis. But we found some time for golf as a family this past week. Got some pretty cool photos of the clouds moving in. Mom and I were more interested in taking photos than the actual golfing ;-)

Wall Cloud

Wall cloud? What wall cloud? I took pics with my regular camera...but the GoPro always makes things look cooler ;-)

Fun Little Guys

Our farm has seen something this summer that I have never witnessed in my 34 years on our farm...puppies. From start to finish we are getting to see the process. I was very impatient for their eyes to open and for them to start walking, and now they are moving (and biting) bundles of fun.

They are slowly going to their new homes, so I wanted to put a few pictures of them up on the blog. I dare you not to gush over them and say "Awwww...."

 I like this photo below. Mom was trying to pick out which one they would like to keep. So instead of having all of them around (because they are kind of hard to tell apart...especially while moving) we were taking them outside one by one. Well, by the end of it, we had all of the puppies and the mama outside. They made a jail break. The funny part was watching the puppies follow my mom around as she tried to walk. They consider the shoestrings of any shoe a delicacy ;-)

In a bit of a pickle

The beginning of school always brings back a lot of stress to my life, and it seems like my garden seems to know exactly when to take off. The cucumbers are starting to get the best of me, but I'm trying to keep up! I will sure have some happy co-workers at school ;-)

Raising the Roof

It's funny (ok, maybe not so funny) how a wind storm can destroy something in 30 minutes and it takes weeks of work to get it fixed. Today, the guys are working on fixing the barn roof at our house. Doing a pretty good job, too.
