Planting Beans

Well, we didn’t go anywhere.  The bean ground became ready so that was that. 

We took two little day-trips, one to the city to buy Gluten-free products, and one to the Uncompahgre Plateau (called 25 Mesa by the locals).  And I finished planting the gardens.

Anyway, if any of you ever buy Red Donkey Pinto Beans, you just may have bought some of our beans!  It is for sure that you will have purchased beans from Colorado, for the beanery is just four miles from our house.

Everything we plant is now planted and Terry even got the beans Mormon creased today.  The oats are up, and soon the new alfalfa will be showing its baby leaves.

Once we start cutting alfalfa we will know summer is here.  Not long now.

I Stand All Amazed

Where we live I can walk right out of the corrals and take photos of some of the most beautiful mountain ranges in Colorado

And to the west of us is the Uncompahgre Plateau, 25 Mesa, which I have shown you in other posts.  There you go, north, east, south and west, around our little farm.
