UPDATE ON THE RANCH
Mavis informs us that the combining is largely done with generally good results, although the "new" pivot north of the farmstead did not do as well because of all the leveling that went on. The malting barley did very well.
The beets are requiring lots of water, in addition to quite a bit of rain that has fallen recently. It is near corn harvest time, with some bountiful fields available that will provide lots of cattle feed.
Dad is doing fine, and sounded quite cheerful on the phone. He was sitting outside and enjoying the nice 70 degree weather.
Amber has developed a strong interest in cooking, and has been making cookies, and cakes--following the inclinations of her Aunt Lana who is very good at such things. Cole and Mitchell Shaide (Ron's grandson) were enjoying the young chickens.
Ron, Mavis, Luke, and Will went motorcyling yesterday to Williston and back, kind of in memory of Ron Shaide who enjoyed such outings until his tragic death in a motor cycle accident when he was hit by a deer.
In Scottsdale
We are getting ready for another trip across the country, to Ohio for a visit with Dione, Saul, and Mollie, and to Iowa for a visit with Derek and Sherill--leaving September 9 and returning around October 1. It will be a long trek but should be fun. We are taking new routes that we have not traveled before.
Cheers,
Bill and Marie
