It has been a very busy spring once we arrived back at the farm, with it being cool and wet. We continue working on the lawn and landscaping after a cold winter. Looking to our west, we have two new ponds that we enjoy. Jo was working on some flowers in our building and a hummingbird, we named Chirp, followed her into the building. We had to rescue Chirp from the trusses and she allowed me to place her in my hands and get her to the feeder where she recovered and soon took flight. Of course, the tractors are a highlight of the farm and my brother, Steve, and I drove two tractors in the West Union Dairy Days Parade. What a kick we had in driving these tractors and sharing them with the community. Many of our friends have been traveling and included us in their stops. We have enjoyed the company of Keith and Bernie from Texas as they traveled north to Minnesota. Our friends at the ranch in Montana, Albert and Gloria, were in Iowa for a few days and stopped with relatives from the area for a BBQ of Iowa chops. Beet piler friends, Ron and Corinne, from Minnesota were able to visit for a few days and we walked in a park near the farm to see Dutton's Cave. We enjoyed showing them the area and spent time relaxing at the farm. Now that the landscaping is completed we are able to watch the birds as they eat at our feeders. The Gold Finches stop in the mornings for their feeding before heading into town.
