Calving time

It's that time of year again. Calving time! Dylan has calved out around 250 calves so far. He is close to the end with about 30 more to go. When I drive by the pasture on a sunny day little calves are running around everywhere, just like kids out on a playground.

Songster

The other day I was in the kitchen and heard this bird singing outside my window. This is a Brown Thrasher.
My handy dandy bird book says the male has the largest documented song repertoire of all North American birds, with over 1,100 song types. My question is, who sat and distinguished that there were 1,100 songs coming from this bird!

Another year gone by

 I celebrated a Birthday yesterday. We went out to dinner with Dylan, Meagan and the boys. Spence asked Stetson how old he thought I was. He smiled at me and said "27". I am sure in his 5 year old mind that was really old , but in this old mind  I was flattered. 

 Thank you for all your Birthday wishes everyone.

Lions and tigers oh my !

Sutton and Stetson were lucky enough to go to the circus with their neighbors last weekend. I think they were the cutest lions and tigers there.

Good Morning

Just another beautiful sunrise in South Dakota.

Moving through

The weather has been beautiful and the geese are starting to move through. Thousands of them ciricling above the corn fields making a lot of noise. They eat, rest, and the next day they are off again.

Crazy !

I found this apple at the grocery store yesterday.  I've never seen anything like it. It's like two apple's in one.

The line on either side is perfectly straight. I did not photo shop this. ( I don't know how)!  Is it a red apple or a green apple.......that is the question?
