Our 3 Beautiful Girls

Our 3 beautiful girls had their pictures taken for us for Christmas. Thought I would share our gift with you.
The duck season is over so Dave worked on the combine to thaw it out. He said he had to put the charger on it for quite awhile to get it started. By this time it was time to go home. Monday he got it up and running. He picked the New lake and Old lake and hauled a couple of loads by tractor and grain wagon to the elevator. He then tried to pick the East Lake but the ducks ate well there this year. Dave said between the ruts and so little of corn it wasn't worth the effort. He made a round and couldn't see any corn in the hopper. When he picked the strip of corn by the parking lot he had more corn than the 1 round down the field. This means the 2007 season is officially over. He didn't take the camera so there is no new pictures of the farm for now. I haven't received any pictures from anyone else either. Maybe next week.
Happy winter!

Mickey

2nd Week Of Janurary

With duck season over Dave is busy picking up the decoys and emptying the lakes. He had warm weather so the lakes thawed and he was able to get them all out. Here are the pictures of the East Lake draining. Some of the guys are still out there goose hunting. Roy was out the this pass weekend. I hope hunting was good. Dave opted to stay in the house to work on the decoys that need repair. I haven't been out there lately but from what I hear the breezeway and kitchen are full of sick ducks.








Here are new pictures of the New Lake. You can see the water coming out of the drain pipe. If it freezes we might be able to get in there and pick the corn that is left. They are talking about possible snow by Thursday. We need the temps to stay low long enough for the ground to freeze hard. I don't think those new rice tires will make it through the mud very well. I really don't want to help Dave pull a combine out of the mud. I would be the one in the combine and he would be in JD8630.

Dave has been great at taking these pictures for you. Enjoy.
Happy Winter!

2007-Last Day of Duck Season

New Years Day! The last day of the 2007 Duck Season. The weather was bitter but Dave and Laurie went out any way. They had to break the ice. Here is a picture of the ice froze to their waders. Tom and Paul braved the cold too so I heard. I opted to stay home in the warmth. In the other pictures you can see the sun was shining, water froze solid, except for the area they broke to get open water, and the ducks were moving on.

Dave and Laurie didn't shoot any ducks that day but it was another good year. Goose season is still on for those who hunt the geese but we are finished. We are waiting for the weather to warm up so we can pull the decoys and drain the lakes. They say the temp will be in the 60's on Saturday. I guess we will be pulling the decays then. Next we will finish picking the corn that is left in the lakes. Hopefully it is still standing and not laying down. Last year it was like match sticks laying in the field. It made things a bit more interesting for me to pick. Bye for now. Happy Winter!! Love, Mickey

Last Week of Duck Season

Hello Everyone,
Well another great year comes to a close in more than one way. Dave and Laurie went out hunting on 12-31 and Laurie did very well. Tomorrow is the last day of duck season. There is still goose season if they wish to hunt. We had a lot of great hunter this year. I hope they enjoyed themselves. Dave will be taking the camera out for some more pics. I will add them later.
Happy New Year!
Love, Mickey
