We are getting closer to house completion at 35E with the order of appliances and tile selections. I really like the design over the windows, along with the tiles surrounding the lower exterior of the house.

We are having a late Spring in North Dakota with cool weather, much rain/cloudy weather and late seeding of crops of great concern to farmers. Usually warm weather comes all at once, then and crops catch up, but the selection of what is planted will determine success of harvest. There is a rich variety here which includes wheat, barley, corn, soy beans, eatable beans, potatoes, sugar beets and sun flowers. the last two named are late to be harvested and can run into cold weather and snow when it had a late spring planting. Wheat has been a vintage crop in this area but the money crops of soy beans and sugar beets have been the money crops the last few years. We don’t do the farming anymore but remain much interested.
