It's hard to believe that mom has been gone for three weeks now.
This past weekend I went back to the farm and helped Eben with a few things. I know that it's going to be hard for him to get all of his normal work done now that he is by himself, so I just want to try and help out more often when I can. Saturday I spent disking about 120 acres or so... 40 at "The Big Tree" in the morning, and 80 at "Brinkley's" in the afternoon. At Brinkley's I found a big rock and had dad come over with the rock picker to get it. It turned out to be such a big rock that it wouldn't even fit in the rock picker! Dad had to scoop it up and basically balance it on the end of the rock picker. Then on Sunday I mowed the yard at the farm and helped dad move a cow and twin calves across the farm to another lot. We put in a few bales of hay for the cows.
While I was at the farm, many people were busy planting flowers in Lynn's memory. I believe that Lynn's favorite flower was the daisy, but she always planted a lot of Marigolds as well. Kelly planted some of both... once people saw her pictures on Facebook, may people did the same.

| Elizabeth and Nolan "helped" plant these... I guess that Nolan basically played in the mulch. |

| Shannon planted these by her driveway. |

This next weekend will be mother's day, so Elizabeth and I will take Nolan back up to the farm so we can visit mom at the cemetery.
