We have been busy.
Nothing real exciting, but real busy.
We are still irrigating.
Sometimes the grandkids come over and help, and Mom-mom, and of course Hank Puff comes along.
Mom’s been cutting all the volunteer corn for Misty’s goats.
We cut the last corn last evening.
I’ve about decided that getting in out of ditches is getting too much for me.
This morning when we went out, and this afternoon, I just stayed on the back of the four-wheeler and waited while everyone moved the water from one spot to the next. That was enough work for this old dog.
I’ll just let Hank chase the water for now.
Of course Boomer still jumps off and runs around. Sometimes he gets left behind, but not as much as when we first started water this spring.
On the way back Mom scared up a doe…she was hiding in the biggest corn field. She jumped right out in front of us and lucky for Mom she had the camera out and in her hand.
In two weeks Dad will cut the hay for the third and last time this year. Sure seems early. Usually that happens about the second week of September, makes me wonder if he will get a fourth cutting? I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Hi, Fuzzy! I like the photo of you and Boomer on the four-wheeler. Our hay crops here in Iowa have been early this year, too.

We can’t get enough of your pictures. We have learned so much about irrigation, plowing and your life.

Thanks for the update, Fuzzy. This is a busy time of year for farmers. It’s a good thing there is so much help doing the chores and a nice four-wheeler with a soft seat to ride around on.
(Like the shadow of the photographer in that last ditch photo. The photographer who is always prepared in case a deer just happens to trot by.)

Busy, busy! All day every day. I would bet you get a fourth crop if you keep the water on.

Why are the dogs the only ones smart enough to stay cool in the irrigation ditch? Looks like fun 🙂

Your crops look great…of course I know how hard you work to keep them that way! We have gotten a little second cutting here and there, but not much.

Maybe it will cool down and you won’t even need to get in the ditch to cool off :-).
