Summer Into Fall

Family, Farm

I have not posted much over summer so I will show pictures of some things that we have been doing.

Lots of vegetables this summer! This is all from one picking of peas!

 

The carrot digger

This is a carrot digger that Jesse made. It digs around the carrots to loosen our hard soil so we can pull carrots easily right out of the ground.

Takes a little weight to push it into the ground!

We just finished mowing for our customers yesterday!

 

The Rink

We just got our rink up over our garden. And…

 

Maple Leaf

The leaves are changing.

“Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.”            Psalm 67: 5-7

 

 

2014 Harvest

Farm, Work

Levi has worked for a local farmer for the last few years during harvest. But, this year, since he got an accounting job in Saskatoon, he had to show Jesse what to do because he was only available to help on the weekends. For the first couple years, Levi drove a Cat tractor, but last year he got switched to a John Deere 9200.

and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22

Little Boys, Little Toys

So, change comes. First little toys are satisifying and fun. But then comes the change. The bigger you get, the bigger your “toys” get!

Josh and Jesse used to ride on wagons, but now they pull them 🙂

 

Undoing tie straps

A few days ago we purchased two gravity wagons from a guy by Perdue. We got them to haul chicken feed around.
