pictures from the farm

i promised to post pictures from the farm...

it was cold and this little guy found the perfect place to hide from the wind...gives new meaning to 'bird brain' huh?  ....over the years, many critters have called that pipe home...in the spring there are usually nests in each end....

he's me feeding the cows. a heifer got out and i attempted to tempt her back with feed...it almost worked til the rest of the herd saw the white bucket and came running...davis's camera didn't like the cold and gave all the pictures a pink cast, but i think it's a nice effect....(bob ross- happy accidents) our farm is a meat farm-there are herefords (the red ones)  and black angus. there was a couple of sharlays, but they're gone now....that particular cow is certified angus (she has papers) and is named "Agnes'..get it black angus...

here's is my sister's, hannah, beux...he's a K-9 officer. his name is michael and his four legged partner is greggor, a dutch Shepperd. (greggor is still a puppy)  i got to play hide and seek with greggor. i hid and he came and found me....and the whole run-thru-water-to-throw-off-the-dogs in the movies is crap! greggor found me in seconds flat....and all i had were wet socks....then i realized while i was waiting that i forgot to ask how to act when he found me. previous conversation details immediately replayed in my mind. details like 7000 lbs of bite force....ooppppsss......but he just ran back to michael for his toy reward....oh- you should see the 'back seat' of the cruiser. it's a plush little dog kennel. complete with rubber floor....i totally need one for traveling with the puppies...

here's the view of the house coming down from over the hill....i like this picture...it's a favorite....you might have to click on it for the whole effect.  see the white house with the dark grey roof, that's it...
