My babies are getting big!

Most of you might think I'm talking about my kids Mike & Tessa. As much as it is true that they are getting big.....I'm really talking about my fishies! When we got 19 little buggers in early July, they were 4 inches long. They are now 8-10 inches long. People that spend $100 or more just to have a large fish are simply not patient or need instant gratification. This time next year, they should be close to 2 feet long. Did you know that koi fish can live up over 200 years given the right conditions. Damn, that would be a big fish if they kept growing and growing. I think they little buggers will outlive me, and that's okay, cuz I have many more years to enjoy them......

Harvest has Started!

All the equipment is up at Randy's Dad's place. Randy picked 3/4 of the corn in the north field today. We move over to the Boston place tomorrow to open up the corn fields there. I love harvest time!.....but then, coming home....gotta cook, do the laundry, blah, blah, blah.....where's the maid when you need her?
