A little one-on-one!
This is what Dad will be doing...every Wednesday.
Dad playing some basketball now that he has officially restored in home court advantage! His mom bought him that backboard for his birthday....

Here we are...looking a little sweaty, windblown, and well, Joshua is a little sun-burned.
My Dad...in his element at his Farm!
Cutting up fallen tree branches for next year's firewood...You would not believe that this is effectively our third pass through the yard, picking up fallen timber after the ice storm. I have never seen so many branches and sticks in my life! We are so blessed that nothing hit the farm house. Frankly, it is a bit of a miracle...
Mom hauls away another load of approximately 4,000 pine cones that fell in our front yard following the ice storm. We did a final pick-up today so that we can prepare our yard for the riding lawnmower. Can you see the grass begining to turn green in the background?
Putting the garden mud in test tubes for soil testing...Today, I have a visual soil assessment for you: Red....Clay....Hard as a rock.
Now, take a look at the color of this mud....which color matches on the soil test diagram directly to the right? Pink? Sky Blue? Yes, the test instructions were....well, clear as mud.
We purchased a soil test kit to determine what we need to add to our soil to nourish our vegetables and herbs. Joshua mixed the soil with water to sit overnight before testing. Notice the John Deere T-Shirt...
This is the third round of seeds we have started indoors. Joshua and I planted these Tuesday after work. We are anxiously awaiting more peppers (all varieties), corn, okra, radishes, peas, brocolli, eggplant, beets, and giant yellow cucumber!

Another picture of the original seedlings from today!
This is a shot of our original seedlings from last week. When you see the updated picture above, you can really see the growth!
Garden Plowed! Now, after some tilling, fertilizer, manure, weeding, and water, we could be the proud parents of 3 bell peppers!
