New Babies!!!!

Last weekend Drew's Dad got two baby horses. They are nine months old, adorable, and so sweet. He said that one is for me and Chrystal (my sister-in-law) to share. It's very exciting.

Drew's Got Something to Feel "Hoppy" About

A couple of months ago Drew's Dad mentioned that he had seen a vine growing out by an old homestead. There aren't any vines that grow naturally in this part of Montana so he suspected it may be a hops plant. Drew collected a sample and sure enough it is hops. From the sample he got some seeds, and sprouted this little dandy. The neat thing is that since they found the hops growing by an old homestead this vine could have been growing there for the past 100 years or so.

Drew is utterly excited about hops and is now a self-proclaimed "Hops Farmer." Since then he has collected more seeds and is in the germination stage, in the refrigerator.
