Walking Beans!!

In the past few weeks, five or six of we older Ulmer children have been busily pulling weeds for a few hours a couple evening each week. A friend in our area is a organic farmer, so uses no spray or chemicals on his bean fields. Instead, you have to go in and pull all the weeds by hand!!

Part of the field we've helped with- doesn't it look great?!?!?!!


Esther pulling as hard as she can on a very stubborn weed!!

The weed finally came loose!!!


Wow- she was pulling hard!! It knocked her right over!

Moses could almost get lost in those beans with that shirt on!!

Looking up your row can be a bit depressing....


so looking back down your row once in awhile is a good reminder that you are accomplishing something!!!


Oh- some of those weeds are tough to pull out!!

A beautiful Kansas sunset!!

That one of Esther's feet in the air is so funny!
Looks like hard, hot work, but the rows looked great once they were done! Great work!
