After irrigating for 24 hours yesterday, we woke up to ice on the trees. We have not had any rain in December or January so the trees needed water. Combined with 20 degree low last night... Voila! Ice! |
| Lena and Russell collected icicles before school this morning |

| Very pretty sight first thing in the morning |

| 4-H in Action 1988 Demonstrating grooming Angoras |
This is from 1988 the last year I showed rabbits in 4-H. Third place Advanced Showmanship at Alameda County Fair. Yes that is an English Angora I'm holding!
1989 I started showing my Rabbits in FFA. I won Reserve Champion Meat Pen that year with Red Satins! Pictured with the buyers Mr. and Mrs. Escalona.
Showmanship 1990, first place Advanced. That's Dani White as the judge.  |

| My boys planting this year's hay. |
Ed's out planting the open field today in wheat and oat seed for horse and rabbit hay. Hasn't been much rain this season, but we are hoping it arrives now that we have the crop planted!
Straight rows with the beds furrowed up (60 inch spacing) allow us to irrigate when we don't get enough rain. In Vernalis we usually only see 8 inches of rain per year.
