Random Pictures

This is random pictures.

 

This is the goat shed Bob built.  It is two halves so Charley can move each side separately.

 

 

Some of the peppers have started to form.  I think these are Serrano which is a hot pepper.

 

We just can't keep ahead of the weeds.  This is a row of potatoes.  Mom tells the story that when I was a kid, I would take a book to the garden to read while I pulled weeds.  Well, now I've figured out how to pull weeds from a lawn chair. I can't kneel on the ground any more.

 

John and Heather Heska were married at our farm on Saturday.  We mowed a section of the pasture and they put up a tent.  It was a beautiful time.  Because the ring bearer's family was not able to come down from Michigan, out little J filled in as the ring bearer.  He was proud to be asked to be in Mr John's wedding.

 

Today after church, we went exploring.  There is a ferry over the Kentucky River that has been in operation for many years.  There was a sign though, announcing that it would no longer be operating on the weekends.  We will plan to go back on a weekday.

 

There is a barrier across the highway while it is closed.

 

On the columns that are the supports for the cables, there are measurements of flood heights.  The top one you see is from 1978.  Unbelievable.

 

There are some piers in the middle of the river - probably where there used to be a railroad bridge.  There are full-sized trees growing on the tops of those piers.

Well, like I say - random.  A week of mowing and heat and pulling weeds and heat and more mowing.  Oh - but to begin the week, Wilma took a vacation day and came and we spent several hours in the garden.  She is a tremendous help and such a hard worker.  We got tomatoes staked up and she picked green beans.  In the afternoon we went and got the van titled in Kentucky. 

This week for the CSA baskets they had peas, summer squash, eggplant and I don't remember what else.  They are very pleased.

Well - Another week in the Bluegrass.
