My Favorite Summer Hide-a-way

I love to spend the summer days at the farm.  We have been going up for a few days almost every week.  With all of the spring rains, it has been pretty and green.  The daytime breeze cools things off and the night air makes me sleep like a baby.  Doug and the boys are usually busy farming.  Lately they have spent a lot of time on the 4-wheelers riding the fields spraying for thistle.  We are so grateful for all of their help.

While Doug is farming, I find projects and books to pass the time.

In the evenings we go for rides or relax. 

We are always happy to have visitors and love sharing the space with friends and family.  Our parents have been up with us and we love playing cards and having dinner together.

Art and Joyce brought their new trailer up and spent a few days.  We enjoyed a four wheeler ride to see the wild flowers.  IMG_8591270416_1846342633639_1092854079_31511643_3477093_n

There are also many beautiful wildflowers right in my campground backyard.

The Belnaps and Knowles came for a cookout. 

Good times with good friends making good memories.
