Mother’s Day | Life on a Colorado Farm

Early Saturday morning, around 3-or 4, I don’t really remember now. We had a terrible hail storm

It came in swath straight from the south

Tearing through the farm yard and damaging the trees

We have little leaves stuck everywhere.

Although, we feel we were lucky because none of the plants set out under freeze covers were damaged, the covers stayed in place…and the corn is not up in the fields.

The sunrise looked like this! Stunning isn’t it?

Then the rain clouds came back in…only rain clouds. We are still changing water through all of this rain, mud and cold. Irrigation doesn’t stop once we start.

By sunset Saturday evening the clouds started parting. It was glorious!

Today is cold and only partly cloudy. Once more I’m very thankful the corn isn’t up yet and my covered tomatoes and other things are still doing fine.

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

We have been invited to go with the kids to Craig, Colorado today.

We will leave just after irrigation is done! Shannon and Jasen will take care of our late morning and early afternoon irrigation sets. We will be back for the last irrigation of the day. Terry has the water in the short rows by our house so it’s easy to set and change! No running clear up to the back forty or swing around to the upper end or any of the middle fields. Easy Peasy.

The kids want to visit the town, look at some houses they are interested in, show Terry and I the schools, in general get a feel for their soon to be new area of living. Hook

Saturday the crocodiles tried to eat Captain Hook….of course, Peter Pan and Tinkle Bell saved him, but still…crocodiles are pretty intense when they are after you!

Have a nice Mother’s Day everyone!
