Farming in the Valley

Last week we wandered into the Valley and the farmers are at work.  Interesting to watch.
They are planting Broccoli.

Field is ready---

 You see they have stacks and stacks of little seedlings----the ones behind the stacks drop the plants into the furrow and the two outside make sure they are upright.

 Workers, more carts with flats of the plants and the water truck

 And now you can see the rows.---We talked to the workers and they said they were planting  Broccoli

More Valley Barns

Actually got out of the house----it was essential---Went for a round about drive and took pics of barns.  All close to home.

 This used to be a barn but now it looks like someone lives there now.

Honk Honk

One of my middle daughters brought home a pair of Duck---only to discover that they were Goslings.  So cute.  

Here are Cora and Rona.
I had a little video of them but lost it in my computer somewhere.........

Strange

My eldest took these sky pics on the ranch.  I think they are amazing.  Help me here--I think this phenomena is called Anticrepuscula Rays.

Snow Geese

The majority of Snow Geese have left our Valley to go back to Wrangle Island--Siberia to their breeding grounds---and are the farmers happy.  The farmers are preparing the fields for planting their various crops and some fields already growing were getting gobbled up by these birds.  But we love them and miss seeing their vast displays.

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for so many things--first of all because I wake up every morning and will continue to do so.  I am safe and healthy and so are my family and friends.  
I am thankful for this beautiful weather we are having and I am enjoying it too.
Everyone--Take care and be safe

Tulips

These Tulips are from our yard.  Since we can't go to the Tulip Festival and we plant hundreds of tulips ourselves so here are the early bloomers.

We also have 8 large containers I stuffed with Tulips bulbs and hopefully they will bloom soon

Happy Easter

HE IS RISEN

Doggies

The Meme for Saturday is Eileen's Saturday Critters~~HERE

I will start off with our Dog Jacky Chan.  Being from Hawaii he loves the sun and we have been having the best sunny and warm weather.
He looks a bit chunky there-ha

 Here are on the left Napoleon (and he thinks he is)  And Penelope my youngest daughter's pups

 And now--Jacky of course and Dorothy and hiding behind is little Toola--Dorth and toots belong to another daughter

 And here is Jacky again playing the part of Indiana Jacky Jones

Sky Stuff

Since we are all quarantined by this danged Covid-19 that means we have lots of work to do at home and take an occasional road trip to take pictures.

This first one is from today---beautiful skies--all blue and temps in the low 60s.  We are going to have at least 10 days of this dandy weather.  So here is my greenhouse and my gator and Bob John Deere. Lots of outside work.   Fun stuff

 This shot is from a few days ago when we took a drive through the Valley.  I love clouds

Pink Moon

Not really a pink Moon---called that because of all the trees with Pink flowers.
The name "Pink Moon" comes from the bloom of ground phlox, a pink flower common in North America, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac. It has also been called the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon and the Fish Moon.


I took this as the Moon come up over the hill behind us.

 This was next and is my favorite

 And then----The Moon
