Since this is down by the old Williams cabin I assumed he used it in his day. The cattle seem to enjoy it for a scratching post now days. Taken 6/12/2006.</center><br />n<br…

It might be hard to see, which makes it even harder to fight, but that is knapweed growing. Part of the place has a lot of it on it. I spend…

I've always liked the way they look and smell. I used to have a real pretty fence full of them at the windmill but some hired man didn't like them and sprayed them out with chemicals one…

  • Wild Roses

They have been for a few days but I have been too busy to get a picture. I made the time and got one yesterday. Everything seems more fragrant this year. More than usual. Wish I could…

The cattle should be set for a little while now. It's time to concentrate on Haying. Taken 6/4/2006.</center>
