Additional Photo of New Pond

I forgot to add this in with the other photos.

New Gold Fish and Koi Pond

This is our new pond, it is much larger than the others and I needed it so that I could seperate some of the larger fish. Baby Sister could not wait to drink out of the new pool, so I let her out doors to check it out. I think it holds around one hundred and seventy five gallons of water, could be more, I do not rembember what was on the tag when we bought it. It took most of the day to dig the hole to lower it into the ground halfway. This will help to keep the temperature of the water down in the summertime. I did all of the digging with a shovel and some help from my tiller. I had to move two fir bushes to make room for the pool. After getting it down to the desired level, I smoothed it out and went down to the creek on the tractor and got a big scoop of creek sand and placed a layer of sand on the bottom to prevent any sharp objects from damaging the pond. I will have to let the water set for twenty-four to forty eight hours to get to the right temperature, so the fish will not go into shock when I move them. In the meanwhile I will collect field rocks from around the farm to dress up the outside and plant some greenery around the rocks. Will post more pictures and the scence changes.

Flowers In The Yard

These are several of the flowers that we have been watering trying to keep them alive during this very hot weather. We need a lot of rain to catch up, it appears that we are headed into another long hot summer. I don't complain about any of this, I just thank the Lord for everything that he does for us each day and I feel that if he wants the flowers to grow they will survive. All of us should live today as if it is the last day of our lives, be happy for today, forget yesterday and tomorrow will take care of it's self.

Day Lilies

I have been a little slack in my posting of late, So much to do so little time, Ha. A little bit of laziness sometime comes into play. I took these at 7:30 p.m. after the sun started going down.
Everything is so dry I am afraid that we might loose a lot of our flowers, cannot afford to water them all, so I will depend on the Good Lord to help with this matter. There is some talk of have thunderstorms later this week. More later

Nose to Nose

Baby Sister and Orange Boy meet nose to nose in the lioropi bed. She has finally began to deal with this Orange Boy. He is real good natured and wants to play with all of our other cats.

Our Walking Trail

All Photographs on this page are copyrighted.

These are three photos of our walking trail, it runs across the farm and down into the lowlands beside the Yellowwood Branch. It is a beautiful walk with animals and all sorts of birds. I walked up on a turkey in the swamp area one morning and it was a sight when it took off when I got to close. We have to cut this trail often because it is in a wet area and the grass grows very quickley.

Making Hay

My insurance agent cuts the hay on our fields and we give it to him for free just to keep the fields cut every summer. The farm looks so much better with all of the fields cut and the hay bales sitting in them.
