Bladen Got a New Haircut

 
Blade said he asked his Momma for this hair style, and he really likes it!  He says it is easy to take care of and fun to wear!

Friday April 4, 2008 Water in the Canal

Leveling the Field so the Water Will Flow Downhill

Just about done with the spring tractor work, leveling is getting everything ready for the fertilizer, and then marking out the rows. 
After that we start water, wait for the ground to dry up (some) and plant.  But the spring work is over, once we get to the leveling part.
 

Soon the Tire is Fixed and the Tractor is Back to Work

OHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOO

Go to bed with all the tires working, wake-up to a flat!
 

Pick Me Up, Grandpa!

Tallin, Linkin, and the Stuffed Animals Come for a Visit

 
Tallin wasn’t sure of all of this; I think she was missing Momma.

Linki doesn’t mind being with us, though.

Fuzzy Loves to Help

Even if he is old and almost blind, Fuzzy still thinks like he is a young dog.

We are Opening up a New Field

Since Terry retired he has time now to do the things he was always going to get too.  This little field hasn’t been working in 20 years, so the fence is coming down in preparation to enlarge the area and plant it.  Alfalfa sounds like a good crop.

Still No Water in the Canal

Usually the water comes down the canal by March 30th, but there isn’t any and today is April 1st.
Terry said that we must not have any onion growers on our ditch this year.  (Onion growers start earlier than most farmers, and need the water sooner.)
