I'm curious as to what it says on the sign at the left of your picture.

That is a Centennial sign. This farm has been in the same family since 1883. There are signs for sesquicentennial farms (150 years)

I have pictures of the old house, my grandpa as a kid, and my greats

And the new one

A little more current as I was adding the porch.

My soybeans just sat still for three-four weeks-no rain. We got about an inch yesterday. maybe that will perk them up.

After that picture was posted it quit raining. Somewhere between .10 and .25. Today I got a whole inch. Things are looking better.

One story of many my grandfather told me is his dad bought a matched pair of horses and they up and died. He bought another pair to replace them. They died too. Being almost out of money he ended up with an old mare and a young unruly colt. To get the colt to calm down he would get him on a buggy and run him to the corner and back. Then he would listen to the old experienced mare and work.

In this pic from the left is my mother, grandfather, great grandfather, great grandmother, grandmother, and uncle. On their 50th anniversary. The cake says sweethearts forever
