Today we went to E and B Orchards in Hempstead, TX. It was so much fun! I will post pictures of it later. It was so nice to be in the open, rural space. It was so nice to see the farm fields, the cows munching on the grass, the slower pace that life in the country has. It reminded me of these old pictures taken on one of our visits to Idaho almost 2 years ago, we took my brother David out to the field that he moves sprinkler pipe in and while he was working we went for a short walk.
Here is one of Jonpa and Jontu taken in front of a field of potatoes in bloom.
Another one of Jonpa and Jontu with a cow in a field.
This is where my brother works, well one of the fields. He has to pick up each pipe and move it to the next spot and then hook it in to the main line all the way across the field. It is definitely good hard work. (I know, I have moved plenty of pipe in my days.) He is in the lower left of the photo.
Here is what you look like after completing the job, wet and muddy and tired, but with that good feeling of a job accomplished. What a great feeling!

How fun. What kind of produce did you get? Michael just built be two garden boxes today. They were my bday present. We planted tomatoes, green beans, canteloupe, watermellon, lettuce, spinach, strawberries, cucumbers and pumpkins. Some of them from seed, so I hope they grow. We are kind of late in the season.
Yeah, small-town life is pretty sweet!
