    Purple sunflower?

    Has anyone seen these beautiful purple sunflowers? I love sunflowers and yellow is my favorite color. I was looking online for different types and came upon this. I ordered them on Amazon. I am so excited!

    Milwaukee tools

    I have to say that I am not impressed right now. This morning our Milwaukee hammer drill quit working. We bought it a little less than a year ago. Granted it only cost us around $280. This is the third Milwaukee tool to just stop working in the last year! I'm headed to our local parts store to...

    Torrential rain

    We have had two days of torrential downpours! It's so bad that two fields are looking like pools! I really hope all the rain doesn't hurt our crop. What do you do for this? When it's a drought, we can water. When it's crazy amounts of heavy rain, we are at the mercy of our runoffs.

    Fried mashed potatoes

    We have a lot of mashed potatoes leftover from Easter dinner. We are going to try frying them up. I thought I'd add some cheddar cheese and some garlic too. Wish me luck that they taste good.

    Bringing in the bull

    We are bringing in the bull, literally. It's time for us to try to impregnate a couple of our cattle. Anyone else doing this now? What's the cost in your neck of the woods?

    Recreational marijuana

    I just read an article from our Governor that they just legalized recreational marijuana for adult use. I heard some farmers talking about putting in fields of it this spring. We aren't going to jump on that train, but I wonder how many will.

    Working in the fields

    What is everyone doing now to work your fields? Spring has sprung so I'm interested to see what other farmers have got going on. I don't see a lot of work being done around here yet.

    Planted apple and a pear tree

    We planted a few apple trees and one pear tree last spring. They are getting bigger but are still pretty small. About how many years do they have to be in the ground before they produce any fruit? I'm starting to think that we should have planted a couple of pear trees.

    What is eating my suet?

    I've seen some interesting bird posts lately and I love birds. So I have a problem, something is taking the suet out of one of my feeders. I have not caught the culprit yet but I hope to. The birds eat it to about half, and then it's gone. What do you think is getting it?

    Spices, rubs or marinades

    What is your go to? Do you find that you season your meat more with spices, a rub or by marinating it? We have been experimenting with all three. We are pretty new to rubs.

    Age for part time helpers

    We have decided to hire someone to come help with the morning and afternoon chores. How old, really how young, would you hire? We were thinking 15 or 16. They would not have to drive, just help with the animals and stalls.

    Superbowl

    Will you be watching the Superbowl on Sunday. Is the team you cheer for in it? Mine isn't but I will still watch. To be honest I watch it for the commercials. They have been pretty lame the last few years though.

    How close to your family?

    How close are you to your family? Your siblings, parents, cousins, adult kids? I've always been very close to my family. Family is everything to me. Some of my best friends are actually family! How about you?

    Where's my stimulus?

    I have actually heard people getting upset because they haven't gotten their third stimulus check yet. Biden promised this and Biden promised that... When will people wake up, politicians always say what you want to hear.

    Oh no, flowers

    It's been pretty mild here (for winter) and I can see buds popping through. These are spring flowers! We're in for some heavy snow this week. I hope the buds don't get killed off and not come back in the spring.

    How is your vet?

    Do you have a good relationship with your vet? Our vet and vet tech are wonderful! They come out when we need them and don't charge an arm and a leg! My brother owns a farm in a different state and doesn't have the same luck with their vet.

    Keeping barns cool

    We are looking to invest in some kind of big fans or equipment that will help keep our barns cooler in the dog days of summer. What is everyone using for this? I would think not air conditioning, but we need something.

    Coyotes are still howling

    It is such an eerie sound, listening to the coyotes call each other across the hills. What do you do on your farm to protect your animals from coyotes? We have not had any animals come up missing this year.

    How long has farm been in family?

    My husband grew up on our farm, as did his father. We are only a 3-generation farm family. I say only because I've met people who have had 6 or 7 generations. How many is yours? Do you think your kids or other family members will keep at it?

    Fox and Sheep (game)

    We have littles (kids) here and they love to play games. I found this little farmers game called Fox and Sheep. Has anyone seen it? I've been playing around with it for a few days, before I let the kids.
