Additional pictures: Fun things to do at the farm!

You can drive Grandpa's tractor...
You can hang out in the birdcage chairs... (Peek!)
You can ride on Grandma's shoulders....

You can try out the new toddler swing on the deck...
or you can just get totally involved in the new toys.... (note how Linaya's sitting up on her knees and feet :-)

Seeding is done!

Stan finished seeding the last of the crop on Saturday evening! That is great!
The girls and their babies have been here for the weekend and Josiah managed to get his first tractor ride on the last field. Look for those pics on Melissa's blog. What a fun time we have had. I bought a baby swing to clip on the deck beams and after a cool weekend, we finally had enough heat on Sunday afternoon to enjoy being outside.
It is showering today so I'm hoping Stan will give himself permission to take the day off. It has been a busy time around here.. There will still be some spraying to keep up with on weeds and fungicide for chick peas but the moisture was great for seeding and we are very optimisitic about a great crop.

Babies on the farm!!

The first picture is Linaya and Monica in the tractor with Stan. Her little feet were just a-bouncin' as if to say "Let's keep this thing moving!"

The next is Josiah wearing his John Deere shirt and socks from Tim and Sarina.

The last is Stan and Linaya enjoying what we refer to as "the birdcage chair" on our deck.

Seeds, seeds and more seeds...

It has been a busy farm since the last post! Canola is in the ground, this will be the last day for seeding chick peas (Stan's hoping there's enough seed in the bin to finish!) Next comes the duram wheat! I planted potatoes and have the garden tilled and ready to plant the rest. I spent most of yesterday on the riding mower. The rain really freshed things up around here. The weekend was a wonderful break in stride to have Roy, Monica and Linaya home to visit! Robert, Melissa and Josiah had been here recently too and it has changed the farm forever to have our next generation coming to visit! I'm even more excited about planting carrots!! Stan had "his little girl" (Monica) riding on the tractor with "her little girl" (Linaya). How fine is that! (I'll find pics later.)
