Update

I have been so bad about keeping this blog updated. I don't have any pictures, so this might be a bit boring for some; anyhow...
Last weekend Lisa and I took the kids to Bemidiji. She had a Cookie Lee Jewelry show on Friday night, so I tended the kids. Looking back on that, we concluded that our kids have no idea how spoiled they are, they got their own room...at 3, 5, and 6! For spacious sake we reserved adjoining rooms, Creed stayed in our room while the 2 boys and 2 girls had the other. It was a great time, swimming, pizza, staying up late & listening to Ella talk to herself while the others were sawing logs-fun times. Creed did pretty well, he was catching a bit of a cold and was awake from about 2-4 in the a.m. only to wake up for the day at 6, but he fell asleep for the whole ride home.
Friday night around 11:30 Rob called to tell me that they were shut down for rain. We were already saturated so the total rain for the weekend sent us over the edge, there were flood warnings and the whole bit, it was pretty apparent that beets were not going to be hauled for the next whole week.
So, watching Rob wait for the fields to dry out was torture for me, I mean he is a pretty patient guy, but it is tough especially when Wednesday came along and neighbors were starting up again. Our field was just too wet. We lost most of our crew due to the fact that harvest usually last 2 weeks that is what most take off from their regular jobs. We started up again today the 20th and we are going only about 15-16 hour shifts rather than 24, just for lack of help.
Now, you are up to date on the farming bit...is that clear as mud? Good :)
