I had the privilege of taking Esther's pictures, I'm pretty inexperienced and really just get some lucky shots, I need to learn how to use my camera better but since I had such a beautiful subject, I managed to get some good ones. Thanks Esther, I had a wonderful time!
The next John Wayne
Did you hear the egg being "put into the nest"!? Tuesday night we made a campfire in the pasture and ate with the cows, it's always fun when they come right up to the blanket ( and even step onto it) just to check out what you're up to and say "hi" :)
The fair is behind us for one more year once again, for me though, the 4-H animal show is going to have to become a good memory because this was the last year I could squeak under the age limit (since I was still 18 on September 1st I was considered 18 in 4-H years and got to participate in one last fair!)
The Girls
We went back to Wishek last night for the premium sale and 4-H animal parade.
We're all busy with fair projects of all shapes and sizes! From trimming Dakota's whiskers and sheering sheep to baking, sewing, cutting, and gluing crafts of all kinds. The tri-county fair is tomorrow and once again it's crunch time!!
This Year Michael Stolz and I had the privilege
of representing our class and school in KFYR
TV's Best of Class 2009. I'm glad they sent me
the DVD because I never did see the commercial
when it was on TV.
She must have felt too short to see into the great big kettle so the faithful old turtle was there to help! This made my day, I hope it makes you smile too!

This afternoon I took this panorama of the sky because the clouds were amazing, I figured it was going to be another one of the thunderstorms we've had allot of lately but I didn't realize what it would bring.
Looking on the radar later it seemed that 3 storm systems "met up" right over our farm. The storm produced hail ranging from pea to quarter size. The good thing however is that it was right over our farm and the fields away from the yard are just fine, some didn't even get any rain.
As you can see some of our corn got it pretty bad, it's hard to see when it was nicely knee high and beautiful on the 4th of July. However, I believe God is very capable of making it continue to grow if He sees fit.
About 4 1/2 hours later there was still some hail in the ditch.
Mom's garden didn't escape the hail, just this morning I thought I should take some pictures of her garden because it's so nice and starting to produce more and more, once again I think allot of it will pull through, but I suppose it will be set back a little
James 1:12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he
has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to
those who love him.God is so good! Sometimes it takes losing something to realize what you have, we are so blessed and God is still in control. We have many many untouched acres to be thankful for and the hope that even these will pull through.
