FRUSTRATION AND THEN JOY

FRUSTRATION – Let me explain… About a month ago, our curious cows broke through the barb wire fence that surrounds the crosses and ruined 6 of our 9 solar …

I’M INSPIRED TO THINK BIG

I took this early morning photo on the farm, next to the crosses. An itsy bitsy spider designed and built this. It did not make an “itsy bitsy” (tiny) spider web, it made a BIG one. So in honor of the itsy bitsy spider, I’m going to think BIG this week! -Ron-

NEW BABY…SORT OF…

Last week Roger welcomed a new calf to the family. Bessy, a family pet, had her fifth calf. Depending on the breed, a newborn can weigh between 50-75 pounds and within hours of birth can actually start walking .

THE FENCE

I really like this photo.  I took it a couple of years ago when Roger and I were removing some old fencing.  When we came across this section of fencing we decided that it was too late to salvage any of the fence boards.  The tree had a firm grip on the fence boards and …
