Things you might have missed this summer part 2... Neighbors

Get it "neigh"bors, you know, it is the sound a horse makes. The. Budweiser Clydesdales were or neighbors for a night or two. And some young hen pheasants are now locals.

Things you may have missed this summer 1... it rained

water early and lots of it. And it rained soybeans if you were in the right place at the right time.

Solo at the stick...

First solo run to feed. He said "I just did it like I saw you do it. I shook the bucket and everything!". And FYI... he did do it just like we do it. Even beeped the horn at the stubborn ladies.

Somebody....

Is pickin' and shellin' today.

A new operator...

starts on the mower. It is how I started and many others. Rule 1. Be safe, don't run over your foot or break something! Rule 2. Get all the grass, don't leave strips or bunches around trees. Rule 3. Try and make it look good, you have to look at, until it grows back, in 3 days with the amount of rain we have had.

This 8 year old has a high motivation to get the job done. It is fun to watch kids make decisions on how to turn around or go around objects, quick thinking is needed when the engine is running and you are moving.

A warning to heavy equipment operators...

This is what children at play look like. Watch for this when driving into our yard.
