What's Happening Back on the Farm

We're somewhat anxiously waiting for the wheat to ripen so we can begin harvesting. It's been quite a few years since harvest has been this late. The wheat looks like a pretty decent crop considering that I destroyed some and some didn't come up until March. Of course, we sure would like to share in the abundant rainfall you easterners have been getting. Over on the ranch things are better but dry as well. We had barley over there and do have that harvested and it was a good crop. I broke my right hand 4 weeks ago and have been wearing a cast for 3 with one more to go. It was rubbing a big blister on the point of the good bone and finally today I convinced Ann to use a dremel tool to cut a hole in the cast-what relief. Next week I get to go to a dermitologist to have a squamous cell carinoma removed from my ear-see hats are important. Ann had a colonoscopy last week aas well as an EDG --those really wore her out but from all reports are normal.
We have been blessed having Jackson, Aubrey and Jennifer here this week while Luke is at Camp Lakeside. It's awalys fun to have them. Of course Jennifer set this blog up and is trying to train us. They're also enjoying Ann's 4 kittens and country quiet and peacefulness. Bob

Welcome, Dad & Mom!! Lane headed out to the field for the afternoon with his dad. He packed some snacks and took along his new Lego catalog, so he is good to go!
