  • Hay Is Done! || This Farm Wife

    We're trying hard to finish hay in the midst of cracked tire rims, an impending storm and old equipment. We "saddled up" the tractor that taught me to rake so many years ago and did our best.

  • From Chainsaws to Bareback : My Kids Keep Surprising Me! 😳 || This Farm Wife

    I wasn't prepared for Wesley to be cutting trees and limbs off fence with the chainsaw, but here we are.

    Over 7" of rain the past week - not sure if that's why the beans are struggling. Too much of a good thing? Finally getting the pool leveled, filled (and tied 👀). Never a dull moment. We appreciate you being here! Until next time, Farm Hard Live Well, The Bernards
