Holy Cow!  Here I am again playing catch up with postings.  I can't believe how quickly I get behind on updating, but I do.  This will be an effort to bridge some of the lost time up to the present in order to get caught up.  Mostly, I'll try and post relevant pictures that will show the things that have been happening on the farm since our last photos were posted.  This will be no easy task as since that last post, crops have been planted and harvested, a steer was fed out and butchered, our entire flock of old chickens were culled (courtesy of an AR15 and a scope from the bedroom window).  We also bought a new flock of Delaware birds that will be ready to lay eggs any day now.  We passed through a two year drought and are slowly making a comeback.  Our pond was dredged and is now bigger and deeper....albeit not entirely full of water yet.  So much has happened and Sam and Hannah are getting too big, too fast.  Now, both of them can drive the tractor and stack bales of hay on the wagon (4 high).  This year, was a record breaking year for hay.  It was the second year that we fertilized our grass but it was the first year that we cut and baled 17 acres of it.  We put up just shy of 1,000 bales.  They are all stacked neatly in our barn and, hopefully, will be sold this winter.    We had two baby calves this summer, one female and one bull calf.  Sadly, the little female was run over by my truck while sleeping in tall grass in the middle of a field.  A sad, tough loss for the Woolery farm.

Without further ado, here we go at making up lost time.










Every picture seems like it could tell it's own story.....which ones to post.  Let's see, family visit from Guate. the U.S. vs Guate. qualifying game, swimming, soccer, school, trips, B.W.C.A. ????
