Munchkins

We went out and worked on the dump rake. I think we have it working this time. I never was too mechanical. As Marty is always saying to me, “Son! Get away from that wheelbarrow, you don’t nothing about machinery!” 😉 We all got hot so came in the house to cool down. Later weContinue reading “Munchkins”

Watergaps

While I was out watergappin’ the other day, this came to me, so when I got time I finished it up. Might still do some slight changes to make it better, down the road. Watergaps When the rains come fallin’ down It just wipes away my frown My whole life is plumb wonderful again ItContinue reading “Watergaps”

Moved heifers

Windy Tuesday

It’s really howling. Gusts to almost 50 mph. Sure drying out the mud! But up to almost 60 degrees. Cindy and I ran into town yesterday. Got some flowers and put them on the folks graves. On the way home we stopped over at Red Owl and put a flag on Great Grampa’s grave. HeContinue reading “Windy Tuesday”

He was down in the neighbors pasture looking for mommy, or something. He is safely ensconcedContinue reading “Fred”
