Up to Your Plow in Water

Record snow fall in North Dakota created a unique set of circumstances this spring. Earlier this week, our entire state was under a flood watch. Here in Bismarck, we were also under a blizzard warning. The worst appears behind us however, Mr. Antique is up to his three-bottom plow in water. 

Mr. Antique -- as we call him at Papa's Pumpkin Patch -- sits right inside the entrance and in a lower spot of the front yard. I say lower because when you live in a flood plain, low is a relative term. 

Most years, Mr. Antique sits in his lower spot untouched by the waters of the spring thaw. After the 50-degree temps last weekend, followed by eight inches of snow, he looks better prepared to plow his way through way through the ice than a field. 

Not to worry. Even though Mr. Antique is up to his plow in water and ice, the rest of Papa's is doing well and looking forward to spring!
