Tractor Pull

We took the boys to a tractor pull last night. It was a perfect night, not too warm. They had a blast!

From the Front Porch

I finally got all my flowers for the front walkway and porch. I had marigolds lining the sidewalk, but the rabbits ate them down to nothing, so I replaced them with zinnia's yesterday. And the porch still needs a second coat of stain, just having a hard time getting motivated to do it all again.

Annie the 20th

Almost every year, my parents end up with an orphaned calf. Mom always calls her Annie and feed her with a pail until she's big enough to steal from the others. This is this years Annie.

Ralph

A friend of our stopped over with his new puppy. He's an 11 week old Jack Russel Terrier. The boys loved playing with him. Notice the freshly stained front porch? Still have another coat to put on. What a pain.

Oops!

It's only been a few weeks and I'm already slacking on posting everyday. Here's a shot of the corn. It's looking nice but could really use some rain.

Baby Cottontail

Caught this little guy munching on some clover last night.

Wheat Harvest

From last year. This year's is just around the corner.

Standing on Water

Another busy day here, so I pulled one out of the archives. 2005 to be exact. That's Hunter standing on a sandbar, at sunset.

Guess what we did?

Picked strawberries this morning. They were pretty small because of a recent dry spell. But they are delicious.

A 'Little' Farming

If I would let him, he'd live outside. The sandbox is his favorite field to work in.

On Mom's Pond

Cheating a little

I've had such a busy day and it's not over yet, so I'm posting a picture I took at the beach from last year.

A Girl and her Horse.

We finally got a chance to see my neice ride. She's doing so good. She's a natural.

Play Ball

We went out and watched my brother-in-law play baseball last night. I LOVE taking pictures of ball games. And they won!

Track Meet

Nick had a county track meet today, at the University. He competed in ball toss, aka shot put, and the 800m run. He did really well in both.

I don't think he anticipated exactly how long an 800m race was. But he ran the whole thing and did finish it. I was proud of him.

Mom's Birthday

My favorite picture from Mom's birthday, April 15th, 2007.

After the rain.

The skies opened up and poured yesterday afternoon. I was really looking for droplets hanging from the flowers, but the wind picked up and I didn't have much luck with that. So my clematis was my second choice.

First T-Ball Game

Dylan had his first Tball game on Saturday. He loved it and played pretty good for not having played before.

Look at that determination.
