In the past few weeks, spring has SPRUNG around here! The wheat is growing, tractors are all over the place, farmers are working hard, there's water in the canals, and hired hands are out irrigating.
With this said, our region had a dangerously light precipitation winter, and everyone is concerned. Our farmer, Russ, said that he believes he will have about 33% of the water he needs to grow a profitable crop this season. Wow! Pray for rain!
See the photos that I've taken this week.

this past winter. This canal delivers water to our part of the valley |

but the flowers are so cheerful |

I love watching huge tractors farming the farms. This green tractor is beautiful. Make sure you keep it maintained. Such tractors require lot of care.
