Very Dry

We need rain!  You can see in the second picture that our yard is cracking.  The newly planted beans are starting to poke through the ground, but they're sitting in very dry dirt.  

Before we got all of our new trees, Bill ordered this water tank.  It sure makes watering trees easier than carrying buckets!  With no rain for quite a while, we had to water the trees last week. 

Camry sure likes watching Uncle Bill do things outside.  Here he's cultivating between the trees to keep the weeds down.

You can see all of the new growth on the trees - exciting!  

Yesterday we went to Cedar Rapids (3 hours from here) to the memorial service of a lady we farm for.  Bill and his dad have farmed for this family for years and had never met them in person so it was nice for us to get to meet them all.  

It's supposed to be very windy here by noon today so I'm going to get started mowing early, and Bill is going to be spraying weeds around fields.
