Coming home. |
A sandstone marker at the edge of the driveway. We do not remember where the coffee pot came from but the stone seemed like a good home. The pot has strange aerodynamics. A strong wind will blow off the top but not upset the coffee pot. |
An old abandoned chicken coop with a view of a few cows across the bottom. |
Baling on a hillside. One bale managed to hang onto the hillside. Most bales need to be released at the top or bottom of the hill. |
Stopped while baling the hillside. The baler is a Krone open chamber type and makes a 5' diameter by 4' wide bale. |
The time saver, a 10 wheel vee rake. Sold an 8 wheel this year and purchased the 10 wheel. This 10 wheel is more top heavy and care must be used on a hillside with wheels up. |
This turkey showed up within 100 feet of the house. First and last time we have had any turkeys on our place. |
A fall morning with frost, fog and light creating a nice effect. |
During the summer, the cows rest in these woods and cannot be seen. With the leaves off, the sun can be seen rising. |
Temporary bale storage on top of a hill. |
Planted birdhouse gourds in the garden for fun. |
We do get snow in the winter, a fairly heavy snow shown here. |
A winter and summer view of the same tree. It is a Shingle Oak. |
Pear trees in bloom in the spring. High winds of the last several years have about ruined these trees. |
Hay storage near the feeding area. We have tried several ways to cover bales. The large stack was tarped and tied, then bales pressed against the side of the stack to further hold the tarp. Bale sleeves are too labor intensive. |
