I have to wait for water for my yard, and today I got water!!! Water for my plants and grass comes from the neighboring farm.

Shannon Came Home for a Visit
Shannon is our oldest child, and our oldest daughter. She has a great cosmetology business in the Denver region. She not only styles people’s hair, but she teaches classes on hair.
It really isn’t a vacation for her, because when she gets home, she gets to cut, or color, or both on everyone’s hair.
Running to Check Water
Fuzzy loves to run with us as we check the water. He does really good, for an old dog going blind.
Marking out the Hay
Our other hay field is three years old, and still looks good. Once weeds and dandelions take hold then it will be time to plow out the field and start over.
Terry is marking the hay to start the water.
Planting Alfalfa Seed on a Bitter Cold Day
The Alfalfa seed is being planted. Alfalfa seed is one of most expensive seeds to purchase-$200 a bag. The seed is very, very tiny, smaller than a mustard seed; so it takes lots of seeds to cover the field.
Once the seed takes hold, a farmer can get from 3-5 years harvest of hay, but the first year is critical. We won’t see any harvest this year, except maybe one in the late summer or early fall.
Tallin and Misty
The REAL cake
But Kelly, and the kids, got Misty a real cake!
Misty’s 31st Birthday
Terry made Misty’s 31st Birthday Cake. This made, Misty extremely nervous, since her Dad is a big practical joker!
She was right to be wary, the cake had a water balloon inside, just waiting to be popped!
Building Fence
Time has a way of tearing down things, and fences are no different. 
It is still cold here…see the snow on Grand Mesa? And we had a blizzard as I drove into work this morning.
The first of May and it feels like the end of March.
