Memorial Day is the day we honor all of our veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice to defend our country and the principles it stands for. My uncle Arthur Knapp was killed in action along with all crew members of the USS Argonaut January 10, 1943 in the South Pacific after landing Marines on an island. Veterans Day we honor all those who have severed in the armed forces.

Always an adventure with a farm. Tire went flat just as I pulled out from the Mennonite feed mill. They let me borrow a big bottle jack to lift the trailer with 2500 pounds of feed in it. Mr. Tire nearby had the right size. And yes, the snow got heavier as the afternoon wore on. Made it back to the farm without any other issues and got all the feed put away. It’s still snowing.

We burn a lot of wood from our forest to heat our house. We have a wood gasification boiler (which reburns the smoke) which results in very little smoke. The first photo is starting the burn (getting the coals ready) and the second is when it is reburning the smoke. The boiler heats water which is circulated to 1000 gallons of storage in the basement and used for the radiant floors.
