The boys enjoyed a swim in our pond recently. My wife wasn’t super impressed with me letting them get in there. It did make for a neat brothers pic and some fun memories.

Monsoon-like rain moved our party into the barn loft, but it didn’t dampen our spirits! We had a great time with family and friends celebrating the greatest country in the world.
What lives 300 feet under ground, smells like rotten eggs and makes kids scream?

Ice cold well water…
A less than great day for gardening…
Followed by a few accidental steps…
Followed by…
And then the squirting, and then drying in the sun on the silo pad,
And finally a nap.

Our daughter Faith invited her high school over for a party to celebrate a wonderful school year and a fun summer break just ahead. We’re big fans of GCA and it was fun to have everyone out to the barn.

Gardening is one of my favorite things we do on the farm. The kids love to help and we love to eat what we grow.
Rhonda & Faith look on as we fill the holes with tomato plants.

I saw one of these at camp last summer and knew it would be a big hit on the farm. It’s a fast paced game where you try to get the other players out by slapping the ball and hitting them in the legs, sort of like dodge ball.

Our mother goose finally hatched those six little eggs. Goosey & Gander are proud parents and the goslings are keeping them very busy.

Our fantastic neighbors, the Stanleys, are big 4-H’ers and invited us to stop by and check out some of the things being taught about shearing, hoof trimming, etc. It was a great turnout and we enjoyed it.
Shearin’ Day

Each spring we enjoy the adventure of corralling and shearing our sheep. We have two breeds; southdown babydolls & miniature cheviots.
Next comes the shearing…
And what’s left is a skinnier, cleaner, ready for spring herd of happy sheep.
Triple Birthday Party

There was no shortage of cake today! We celebrated Charles turning 9, cousin Violet turning 8, and cousin Leyna turning 18.
It was also a good day to catch the spring’s first fish.
And everyone still loves the golf cart, even if just to take the trash to the dumpster.
