Weekend of Bowling w/a little Farm Work

We have been in Bowling mode since Wednesday.  Alex and his high school bowling team from St. Benedict were in the State Bowling Championship this weekend.  The event started Thursday with the Individual Championship.  Alex was 6th in our region so he was able to compete in the individuals.  24 kids were in the first round and then the top 6th went on to the next round.  None of our boys made it to the next round but they all did great. 

Friday was the start of the team competition and SBA's Boys and Girls teams both made it to the final round of competition.  Our boys lost to Battle Ground Academy (Franklin, TN) and our girls lost to St. Agnes (Memphis).  We are so proud of both our teams for receiving the Silver Trophy for State Runner-Ups. 

That left only Sunday to work on farm related stuff.  The hoop house at our house in Memphis is nice and warm and humid (thanks to the 70 degree weather we had yesterday) so we got our seed trays ready by putting a mixture of compost and peat moss in the trays and then placing them in the hoop house.  We are giving the dirt a chance to warm up before we plant the seeds in them. 

Next weekend Cris plans to plow a part of the lower field to plant wheat.  We are going to try and grow our own wheat (for personal use, not to sell) and then grind it ourselves.
