Blessings

As many farmers have experienced this year; we have also had a fair share of flooding. Although flooding of freshly planted farm ground can be frustrating and discouraging we were more than grateful to still have a house and land to call our own. I can't imagine what Oklahoma is going through and it really put things into perspective when Zac and I were keeping the Flood gate this weekend at the farm. We were discussing how sad it was to think that just a couple weeks ago we were riding in the tractor planting crops in these fields that now look like a small lake. We simultaneously looked at each other and were like oh my gosh just imagine what it would be like living in Oklahoma. Their houses, school, and children were there one day and gone the next. I can't imagine how they feel and we are truly blessed to still have what we have; flooding or not. Life will go on and we are all safe and sound. So, here are some pictures of our fun, scary and crazy adventure to check the flood gates this weekend. The goal this past spring was to level out the top of the levy so it would be easier to go and check the flood gates if it did happen to flood. Well, needless to say one thing led to another and we didn't get it completed so, our adventure was interesting and I even had to get off the Ranger at times for Zac to maneuver it like a "Pro" as he would say :)

This is one of our corn fields, looking like a small lake!!!

The current of the water uprooted a few trees and this is what was left when the water levels started to drop!!

This is near our flood gate

This is one of Zac's "Pro" times while trying not to fall into the water off the levy :)

Hope you are all staying  dry and warm. Count your blessings and enjoy summer :)
