Dylan went to central South Dakota to do some custom combining. Stetson got to go along to help.With his John Deere hat and shirt, one glove and his pliers in its holder, he was ready to go.

Art in metal

Spence and I were fortunate to have my niece Tessa back to visit us this summer. On our way to the lakes we like to stop in Vining Minnesota. There is a man in Vining that welds statues and  places them through the town.The elephant is made out of mower blades. I have included some of his other creations.......enjoy.

Minnesota Loons

We spent the 4th at Sue and Bob's cabin. While out on the pontoon a mother Loon and her babies were out for a swim. She let us get extremely close, which is very unusual. Bob told us that the babies still have downy feathers and it's hard for them to go underwater. They are beautiful birds and were very lucky to get so close.
