Late Spring on Johnson Farm

So, I am finding this post in my draft folder, I obviously forgot to post it!  Duh!  So, here I am posting just a "few" months later!  Makes me wish it was spring, but then I do like the blanket of snow outside.........it really does prevent alot of work outside ;) !



So it is June 1st here in South Dakota.  To some people their summer has already started, but here in the upper midwest, things are just started to get warm, so I will call it late spring.  The weather has been beautiful, a little chilly a few nights ago; but really nice.  We even caught some much needed rain this last week too.  What a blessing.  We only have a couple cows left to calve; the crops are all up; and Farmer Johnson is (as I type at 10pm) still out spraying weeds in fields.  Here are some photos of what has been happening on the prairie.............

I took this while I was mowing last week.  Ella decided to sit back and take in the sun.

Moooo!

My Dianthus........and a butterfly.

Yes, I am obsessed with my yard.  Please don't judge ;)

My cow whisperers.......

Can you see Farmer Johnson planting some corn????

Hello there three cows!

Easter Dress to Flower Girl Dress

So, this wedding is coming up very quickly.  Extremely quickly, and I have a list a mile long to do and prepare before the big day.  One of which was preparing this girls' flower girl dresses. 

We found some ivory dresses online, that had pink and ivory flowers on it.  I thought it would be easy to take them off and replace them with pretty purple ones.

                                        My beautiful family!  The girls in their dresses!

Christmas Cheer

Ok, yes..............I have not forgot about blogging.  Really I haven't.  Life happens, harvest happens......holidays happen, and look a new year already!  Happy 2013!  I have done quite a few projects, but just haven't posted.  Here are a few Christmas projects I accomplished this year, of course a couple are pinterest finds.
