Farming
Farming in year 10 was a big year for us as we built a new pole barn across from my Dad’s farm. It has been so much fun to share traditions with the kids as they get older from going strawberry picking with their Grandma the Great to picking up rocks or going on combine/tractor rides. Quinn is a big helper with our honeybees too.
