We've had a good deal of rain so the pastures are green! We have 160 acres and are turning the cropland into hay - Horses don't prefer wheat - its good hay they want!
This shot is out my back door - I see deer often in the far corner! I prefer here then at the front end of my now crunched mini-van!
Lots of timber for the kids to romp around in! A waterway runs in those trees and can get pretty full at times!
Off to the North is the building we call the "Bunk House" - So NOT like a real working cattle ranch! This is where all the events will focus out of - bible studies, teamroping / barrel racing events, concessions, etc. The horse barn is behind it. The arena will go off to the north and in front a ways. The ground is worked and ready for pipe, etc.
The pond is full, and YES, we get in it and have a blast! No pesky, mean snakes to deal with here! Bailey says the mud feels like an Italian Foot Massage! Neither one of us has been to Italy to really know what one of those feels like, but sure makes mud feel good!
So . . . here is my bit of Kansas - Green and rolling, where God planted us!
It's quiet unil I have to holler for one of the kids! Our Harvest moons are incredible and sometimes when the sun goes down for the evening you look and think the sky is on fire!
Come for a visit anytime!
Blessings!

See how you are? Bragging and all about your beautiful green landscape. Just kidding ya. It is beautiful, and I love looking at the pictures. Today we are experiencing gale force winds, and blowing sand....but what else is new? This has been going on since January. Not shaping up to be a good summer I am afraid. All DH does is run the feed wagon, pouring out more feed everyday. We had a wet spring last year, and were really spoiled throughout the summer. I kept telling myself God is in control, and His will be done. It will rain in His time, not ours.
Have a glorious day

I think you need a cat!!! See my blog for details!
Things are greening up pretty! Yeah spring!! You really should show something whipping across picture to show our KS winds!!
Feeling a little left out of your cowgirl cirle!! Check my blog for the Carlson Rodeo. ;)
Awesome, beautiful ranch! No wonder you love it!
Well just rub it in why don't you! ;) Honestly though, glad the rain has blessed y'all. When you're finished with it, just send it this way please.
What a pretty place you have! What a great place to raise your family and give kids (young and young at heart) a neat place to gather and fellowship.
Hey Paula, thanks for thinking of coming to see me yesterday. There are days I think it would be better to stay at the trailer lot than go to the paper but we'll see what God has in store. Chris has me slightly paranoid yesterday with the rainstorm. He told me that those little sheds get struck by lightning all the time. I hope he was joking!! I need to go tomatoe plant shopping too, it's planting time.
Hug the Ks for me, yourself, and Bailey...I'm sure Bo would rather not have a hug but tell him I sent one anyway!!
Ok Paula...blogging is a responsibility..you can't leave your readers with nothing new to read. I am just kidding ya. :) :) :)
Just wanted to drop by and say howdy.

Some days it's just so much easier to read yours! Okay - I have a few things to share but my day is crazy. Look for something coming tomorrow!
My 17th Anniversary is this weekend so I will get a picture of my yummy hubby and me!
What a beautiful place to call home! You are truly blessed to be able to enjoying God's glorious gifts of beauty!
And that pond... my kids would go nuts! We would be full of mud everyday, I have no doubt. :)
God bless0
