It was a beautiful, productive spring at Pine Ridge Farm.
The princesses stopped in for pictures before prom.
And we got to celebrate with the birthday girl who came home from Missoula, Montana.
Flowers broke out along the river,
and sticks covered Mrs. Hawley's yard, so we called reinforcements to help with stick patrol.
Our farmer has been a busy, busy guy. He sprayed for weeds, then planted
and made a few repairs and adjustments along the way.
Afterward he made another complete round with go-go juice. When weather's unpredictable, you work when you can.
On the home front, Miss Laura rewarded us with homemade spaghetti and meatballs as part of her Family Consumer Science class.
Matthew graduated from Iowa State University...
And celebrated in true Iowa style.
We welcomed four new babies
and got them tucked in....
but not without suffering a loss or two.
The rain came. And...well, we're off!
