2012 259:366 Playing in the Alfalfa Field

I took the kids down to the bottoms to check on the guys and see what they were up to. I guess when you are little you can find a lot of different ways to entertain yourself. They made up a game of find the golf ball in the alfalfa field. We would throw the ball then run to find it. It's not always easy to find though.

2012 258:366 Combining the Beans

Tyler and Brandy came home for a couple of days, so that he could get some of the farm work done. He did get the beans finished up on top, but they were not quite ready on the bottoms. Jeff and Tyler also rebuilt the header on the combine. I guess that made quite a difference in how it worked.

2012 257:366 Ruts in the Road

These are the ruts in the road caused by all of the heavy truck traffic in Watford City. This is at the intersection turning from highway 85 onto 200.  I have to say though, that it's a good thing I took this photo when I did, as when I came back through here a few days later, they were fixing the road. Good thing too, this would be pretty tough to drive on when it's icy.

2012 256:366 Tomatoes

None of our tomato plants made it this year, so when a friend posted on Facebook that she had extra tomatoes, I was right there to pick them up. There is nothing like a home grown tomato. I roasted them, then canned them to make a tomato sauce. Yummy!



2012 255:366 Pickled Beets

I pulled out one row of beets this afternoon and got them pickled and canned. I didn't start eating beets until a few years ago, and it wouldn't bother me if that was the only thing that got planted in the garden. Jeff keeps trying to give them away and I get upset with him for that.

2012 254:366 Sunset

It was a beautiful sky this evening. I'm sure that the smoke is still a part of this.

The leaves are changing. Fall is in the air.
