We need more water in several areas of the field. This fall we're going to mark it heavily to promote water flow and fertilize. Rest time after watching our neighbor cut and bale it. Watching is tough work!

Summer was mild, then we had a cold snap in early October with freezing temps, but since then it has been a beautiful fall season. Let's hope for a normal mild Delta winter.

Spring is here

Spring came early this year. By late March it was somewhat comfortable for a few days, and April was very nice indeed. The mud season didn't amount to much more than a few days of melt-off and it was over. Things turned green very early and spring is...

It came about mid-month and the days have been getting warmer ever since. We are well on our way to completing projects around the house, something we couldn't even thing about doing this time of year up in Meeker. Today I burned the irrigation ditches in the front...

This isn't to suggest that my pal Panzer was a victim of cancer, it was tagged as part of an online support photo shoot. Panzer was the victim of his own exuberance and was taken in a vehicle accident on the road near home. My consolation is that I was there and...
