Visit from Grandpa

By Mike Burns on July 28, 2007 5:40 PM | | Comments (0)

I promised everyone an update on the visit from my Dad.  As anticipated, it was less than a couple of hours before he was out in the garden pulling weeds.  We managed to tame some of the weeds but when you grow without sprays and pesticide this is a never ending task.  We also have a nice organized basement/packing area with storage shelves for all of our tomatoes and produce - I couldn't have done this without his help.

We are very grateful for the help around the farm and the boys enjoyed spending time with their Grandpa.  Grandpa also got to see our oldest, Cooper, get baptised as well as watch Eston enjoy a birthday cake with three candles.  

Dad has made it safely back to Kansas and is having a restful "vacation" from his vacation at Burns Best Farm.

We love you Dad!

It looks like yet one more use for a shovle.

Thanks for the mention. It looks like you have figured out the instructions. You are are making progress. It should get easier from here. And all you like is finishing. Tell Denise I'm ready for the 1 pound of butter when she gets it made. I have found a way to agitate the cream. I'll just care it around in my dump truck all day

Thanks for the update and the photos! The plans are very exciting. I am looking forward to enjoying some of those wonderful blackberries and garlic with you this year.

Blessings,

We shopped the removal around quite a bit to find a lower price, and part of the deal we got with the company that did finally take it down involved them removing all the wood. They were able to sell it somewhere to offset their removal costs. We kept some of the smaller branches to use as firewood this winter. Mike is planning to seed the spot where the stump was removed soon.
