Hello All!!

It has been busy around the farm this spring/summer between planting crops, rain, end of school activities and graduation, working cows, getting hay cut and baled, and a family vacation, the days just run into each other. I forgot to post some photos of the flax field when it was in full bloom! The whole field didn’t bloom all at the same time and the flowers were only open from about 9am to 1-2pm. They liked the early morning sun better I guess. It was still very pretty to see. We had friends tell us at church that they loved seeing the flax alongside the interstate on the way to town. Some even said “It is so neat to see it again, it has been a long time.” We got some heavy rains during the blooming week so I was afraid that we wouldn’t get any photos at all but I did get a few! The week it bloomed was June16th. Now the field is turning a yellow color so in a month or so maybe it will be ready to harvest?! I hope you are all doing well and if you ever have any questions please let me know!
