The Graduation

Here are some pictures from Joe's Graduation ceremony on May 18th. He did really well (and I don't mind saying so... :-)! I do have some more pictures, but I need to get them off the CDs - I will put more on later with the other stuff we're doing around here...

There is a more up-to-date picture!


Hugs! (This was just after he received his diploma. Finally - it's done!)

Our Graduate

Just to let you know, our one and only (and favorite!) brother and son, (a.k.a. Joe) will officially be graduating from high school this Sunday at a small ceremony after Church. Please pray for Joe as he goes on this new adventure in life! He will be starting some college courses from the farm. Home school college, of sorts. I will be taking pictures of the ceremony (of course he wouldn't mind if we didn't say anything, but... let's just say - we've got... big plans.) We know that God also has big plans for his life. We really have appreciated and our very thankful that God put him in our family 19 years ago! Hooray for Joe!!

Might Be, Maybe

Hi, everyone!
~By the time you read this, we'll have planted about 10 fruit trees (I think), tilled and plowed an entire vegetable and flower garden, put up a cow shelter in the pasture, and done a lot of deer fencing.
~And, spring is here. It might be. Maybe. (yes, that's where I got the title from...) Kind of - we're hoping, at least!!
~A little bit of frost last night. But there are some wildflowers coming up and we're happy... even though some could be considered... er - weeds. But when you have seven acres and most of it is okay with the weeds since it's not all a seven-acre lawn, it's all right.
~Ah, yes - pictures of Dad and the bees to follow. He got ten hives of them a couple of weeks ago and all are doing great - except one, who had a "dud" queen. That was... taken care of.
~Hope you have a great week!! And I'm very sorry for not posting in such a long time. :-) I knew you couldn't bear it any longer. So I graced you with a post... (jk) enjoy!

Can you believe that this came out of....


...This? Same field, same place, two months later. Yes, we can believe it... it's been a long cold winter for us summer loving us!


Say hello, Stuart, dear!! (Don't tell me that's that cat again!)
Aha!!


That's a little more sensible...
