Always a big worry…so once we see the little leaves poking out of the ground it is time for celebration!
Irrigation is something that happens at dawn, at noon and a dusk. It just doesn’t stop.
We are watering the pinto bean ground right now, getting the ground wet before Terry plants.
He always waters first, lets the ground dry out to the right moisture point and then plants.
That way the weeds are not as much of a problem as when the seed is watered up.
Yesterday I made my very last trip to the Paonia Campus. Time is running down fast now.
I must say I’m very excited!

Those picture sure capture everything nicely! It is amazing the things water can do! The good and the bad that is.

There’s something magic about a seed sprouting—even when you’ve seen it a thousand times. I think it’s the possibility that lies within.
One day closer to retirement!!

That first shot is amazing…..I love the angle and nice straight rows…….good thing I’m not a farmer….they’d be crooked as a snake.
