Happy Friday all! A couple evenings ago, I went over to a neighboring pasture to see the cows and calves. Have you ever just sat on a four wheeler and watched cattle? It’s surprisingly relaxing. I could just sit there for hours and contemplate the big questions in life. What questions, you ask? Oh you know….
Tagging Dolly
Dixie has a new playmate! Dolly was born Tuesday, January 19; this picture was taken then, before she was completely dry! A couple of days ago I went with my brother to tag Dolly. Here’s a picture of Dixie, in case y’all are wondering how she’s doing: Dixie is a healthy calf, and she’s…
Meet Dixie (And a few others!)
Hello all! Yesterday I had the privilege to go with one of my brothers to feed his cows. But this time there’s a special new addition to his cow/calf herd: Dixie! Dixie was born Wednesday, January 13. Isn’t she cute? Anyway, my brother had to put an ear tag on Dixie without her…

The Ice Storm
Right now we’re having quite the ice storm! Kansas is blanketed in a thick sheet of wet, mucky ice that started to melt a little today. Now we’re back down to 32 degrees (the high was 34!) so I doubt it’ll be melting much more today. The past couple of days we piddled around on…
It Was Bean Harvest and I Completely Forgot…
I know, I know.. I’m so far behind with this post.. So I had two options: a) forget about it or b) go ahead and share some of the really fun pictures I got! (As you probably figured out, I went with option b!) Soybeans were being harvested here in Kansas awhile back and I…
A Life Update! (We Welcome Biggens and English!)
Life seems to be flying by recently… Actually, the fall leaves are flying by and disappearing before I even have a chance to run outside with my camera and get some pictures of them! But everything else is moving at about normal pace.. Perhaps some things a little slower! So let me share with you a little…
It Was The Last Day of Corn Harvest… And Did I Really Do That???
I’m sad to say I’m a bit behind the times.. The last day of harvest was well over a week ago I believe.. Maybe even close to two weeks ago, and here I’m just getting around to posting about it!? Something’s not quite right with that picture! Oh well, I’m sharing today a few pictures I…
Corn Harvest… and A Tornado?
I’ve been riding along during this corn harvest, taking a picture here, another one over there… And sometimes bugging whoever I’m around with my shutterbug tendencies! I did get to snatch a ride in the combine once.. But most of the time I camped out in the Peterbilt… Which happened to have a Blueberry Muffin…
Feedin’ the Cattle
I believe it was Friday of last week, that I got to hitch a ride out to some pastures and watch the cattle get fed some cubes… We pulled in the pasture, drove up close to where the cattle were hanging out, shooting the breeze, etc. and honked the horn a few times. I guess…
