The View from Above

When Jim isn't planting or harvesting, people always ask what he is doing. One of the many things that he has to do is move the grain from the bins on our farm into town. On Thursday, he took these pictures of our farm from the top of the grain bin. It certainly gives you a new perspective of life in general!

Jim's Birthday

Friday was Jim's birthday. We bought him the new Jay Cutler (Bears's new quarterback) jersey. It was funny to see the kids try on the jersey!

Flower Bed

Every good farm has plenty of flowers. Well, after 12.5 years, I have decided to have a flower bed on our farm. I spent most of Saturday digging up the bed, laying the rock border, and planting the flowers. Trevor was a huge help with the rock border!! Now I will just have to wait, weed, and water while waiting for the flowers to grow!!
