Five, Six Pick up Sticks

I have been lacking posts lately, for that I am sorry.  What have the Hofmann's been up to you might wonder?  Well, we spent 3 weekends (Saturday afternoon after Lance got off work and Sunday) picking up sticks.  We own a 40 acre farm in Boonville and in the Spring of 2011 the county cleared the trees against the road and we hired a guy to finish off the tree row that the county did not clear.  This year we had the fence row between us and our neighbor cleaned up.  There were several massive stumps on the property we had taken out so we could keep the weeds and saplings under control.  Lance and I had several sticks to pick up on the farm....

... from the old clearing and the new clearing, so we made three trips to get the farm...farmable and to farm.  Spending Thursday night packing, Friday night doing light cleaning, being gone Saturday and Sunday, getting back home after 10pm each Sunday night, unpacking on Monday and keeping up with laundry, the blog got forgotten.

Anyway, the farm has been disked (where the trees were removed), anhydrous applied, chemical applied, planted and ready for the corn to grow.
