More HC Fun!

A summery day and lots of fun for HC on the farm with Pa Pa (Farmer Ken)


HC was waiting a promised ride in the big tractor after his nap.


It was a bit delayed, due to the battery being low and needed a bit of a charge. HC waited patiently for Pa Pa to get the tractor ready.


HC and Farmer Ken graded the road around the farmstead, that Farmer Ken had been working on to widen to accomidate the combine and bigger equipment.
It was a fun day as usual!

Another Henry day at the farm

HC always adds a ray of sun shine to our day, when he comes to stay at the farm! We visited Doris and Bill, so he could watch the birds at their feeders. A trip to the implement dealer to look over toys for Paw Paw was great fun. Grandpa had to make sure later in the day that HC understood that tractors are red!
After playing a bit while grandma got lunch, it was time for a quiet nap.


We had snacks after HC's nap and went to visit farmer friends at the feertilizer store across the highway. Soon it was time for HC's dad to come, after we had done "Up, Down, touch the ground" several times.
The weather is warming and the snow is melting some, but has a long way to go! It is to be 60's next week. What a relief!

The Blizzard of March 2007

Weather predictors missed this one completely! We were to have 3 to 5 inches of snow Thursday, butwe got over 10 inches. The wind was to have blown Thursday and then let up, but it blew 30 to 35 mph with gusts to 50+ mph AND kept blowing Thursday night, Friday and today! Friday the snow had moved into Iowa, but it backed up and we had about an inch or 2 more yesterday afternoon and last night. It had been warm enough that some came early as rain. The ground was warm and there are big mud ruts in the farm yard. Now it has gotten colder (18F).
The photo below is the hill across from the farm with the cedar trees on the ridge and the snow blowing up around the.


This photo is out the front window (do you think I'm going out there?!!) It's pretty with the sun shining, but pretty cold for this late in the spring.


The 2 photos below are out the back. There is a big drift by the round hay bales that runs over to the front of the pole shed by the old model T.



We have had great moisture with these storms and will for once be going into spring with moisture in the ground, versus a few years lately that the ground is powder dry in the spring.
It will soon be warm and with all the moisture the spring flowers and bushes should be gorgeous! (I'm ready!)
