Lots of Fruit and Chores

We have been getting tons of raspberries. We have to pick them every other day and we get just about this much each time. With 9 lbs of raspberries there is lots of things that you can make, pies, jelly, smoothies, icecream, muffins, pancakes and the list could go on. We are loving these raspberries!!

Picking apples.. All these apple pictures Jared took, so all the credit goes to him!! :) He is becoming and awesome photographer and I think it is going to come natural for him!
Dustin was here, so he got to help the boys pick apples. Sadly this is the only tree that we got fruit from this year. Our late freezes killed the other fruits. 
Lots of yummy apples!!

I found a big apple!! :)
The boys put together a little gift for the mailman. :)

I put a quick video together of doing the neighbors chores. I didn't get any pictures of the couple hundred chickens and the rabbits or the dog. But these are a few pics of us walking and feeding the goats.
Enjoy :)

In The Garden

We have started a really big garden! We have green beans, soy beans, potatoes and tomatoes coming up so far.

The guys have been staying busy putting in a sprinkler system.
Here comes a huge load of mulch!! 
Unloading it...
Once they got the mulch laid out we planted sweet corn, rows and rows of it!!

Busy Busy Busy!!!! :)
It's coming along! :)
Did you happen to notice the awesome clouds and rain in the sky? And did you notice how dry it is around our place? Yes, we have been being missed by almost all the rain this year so far. We are praying that our turn will come soon, cause we could really use it!!
