Harvest Begins

Wheat harvest is underway, and while it will be a meager one, it's still an exciting time of year on the farm!  The wheat has been through everything this year: super, super cold conditions during winter and spring + a very dry March and April + extremely hot conditions in early May = not very good wheat.  But wheat has a way of surprising us - it's very hardy!  Maybe some of our yields will surprise us, too.  In the meantime, happy harvesting!

NCAA Division 1 Volleyball Championships

Chelan and I took Delaney to Kansas City for the championship game of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament - a birthday gift given to her in August. What a cool experience!
