So i'm supposed to be doing something constructive, like cleaning. I just didn't feel like it, so i went out and took some photos of the horses. Diesel wont stand more than 1 inch from the camera.

It's fourth of July weekend. Where has the past 5 months went. I was doing the calendar that I keep on the fridge the other day and in 3 weeks i will be registering the kids for school.

I'm ready for State Fair. I love the sounds, smells and i love to watch the people. I hope that everyone has a good holiday. I cant wait to sit back and just relax with our friends and family and EAT!

This is Jacob Hall. My friends Doug and Christys son. He showed this steer at county fair and got Reserve Champion County Born Steer. The steers name is Walt and Walt went to be butchered. So Jake and I took some pictures of them together. What a beautiful morning. Thanks for letting me take these for you Jake.

So, the fair is over and all the pictures are edited and sent to the Extension office and the newspaper. I love donating my time and taking pictures for these kids. They work so hard and deserver to have a momento to have to show their families when they get older.

The handsome man in the center is our nephew Tyler. He won Senior Showman and then went out and won Master Showman. Thats what showing cattle is all about. If you cant show them then you are wasting everyones time. He has become quite the cattleman. And we are proud of him. Way to go Tyler!

These things are so ugly, they are pretty. I believe they are on a clematis plant. They remind me of something you would find in the ocean. Weird and unusual!

So im walking through the house picking up after everyone, and i look in the sunroom. Harley, in her favorite spot sleeping. Her and Kimber love to sleep in here during the day in the sun.

This interesting looking plant is a popcorn plant. When you rub the leaves it smells like popcorn. A friend of ours has it on his deck and I think it is so neat.
