Down on the Farm

Adam and me at the pivot point.
Adam and my mom making sure that the pivot is still working and moving. As we were pumping mainline, we found a wire coming out of the ground, and it was broken. We didn't know what it went to, so we moved a couple of our pivots to see if the wire went to any of them, and luckily, it didn't. We don't know what the wire goes to, so it is a mystery!



My cute mom after a long day of work on the farm.


This is our old 4-wheeler we brought up from Utah. Ted thought it would be a good idea to get it all fixed up and running again so we can use it to bring in wood for the winter. Now, we are also using it on the farm! It is so nice having a 4-wheeler to run around on. Ted is so smart!


This is some old mangled wheel lines that have been stacked on our farm. I like the twisted metal.


This is the sunset we got last night. We like to think of the sunset as our reward for the long day's work.



We have been working hard on getting our fall work done, and so yesterday, Adam, my mom, and I all went out and pumped mainlines all day. Towards the end of the day, Adam and I went and staked down our wheel lines so they do not get ripped into pieces by the winter wind this winter. It is always a lot of fun when the three of us get to work together. It doesn't happen very often, because we usually have to split up to get all the work done on time, but since we are getting closer to be done, we are working together a little more. It is nice too, because we all get to talk and laugh like old times. Things change so quickly in life, and it is so important to value every precious second. You can never go back in time and change things or wish for more time. So, enjoy every minute!!!

You guys are such hard workers! I keep forgetting to tell you that yes, my mom does play the organ at the temple and she said that she'd seen you. Way to go to the temple!

You all need to take yourselves out to dinner when all your work is done! (Is it ever done?) Good job!
