More cow work.
I opted to stay home with Quinlan and Lorelei… Tess had company and was exempted from work. That meant Megan was on duty… and she brought me photos!
Cows were gathered. A trip through the alley was in their future… and, gee whiz… the grass was tall around the corral!
Then it was on to the next pasture… boy, it’s very difficult to leave this one! The soil, the moisture, and being managed for grass makes a HUGE difference around these parts!
I think you can see why!

My babysitting came with its own adventure. Quinlan has been wanting to look for frogs. We looked in the pivot caused mud puddles, then tried to choose where next we might search. We came to the creek without making a plan… so I encouraged them to drop their socks, shoes, and jeans and go in search of frogs.
I handed Quinlan my net… told him not to go too far… then let them go. Oh, my goodness, they had a grand time!
Isn’t this just a darling little photo? Big brothers can be so awesome!
I don’t know what kind of filter my camera put on this automatically, but I sure like this last photo, too!
Let's Socialize...
Oh my goodness, how darling! My brother and I used to wade around in the swamp, frog hunting. I’m sure we didn’t look that cute at it though.. lol Sure would be a treasure to have a picture of it though! What a blast!
So, did the kids have any luck catching frogs??
Looks like a gorgeous day our your way!
Good morning, growing up on the farm, we had 2 creeks to play in, such fun! Brandon had an Alley photo also, it showed just the old building on the left , now I see what looks like an old “home place” was that the case! when I travel the back roads I see old places & always wonder about the folks that lived there-
I love, love the photos — both of the green tall grass, the old time homes, and the two young uns’ having such fun searching for frogs. I grew up with irrigation ditches running both behind and down aways from my semi-rural home, and boy, we played on those ditches all of the time. Had frogs and tadpoles and crawdads to watch the life cycles of and to catch, and waded in those ditches all of the time (I don’t know how our Mom allowed us to play in them, but since she grew up on a farm, she didn’t think any of it!) We also made our own “boats” with pieces of boards that we had around, putting little toy cows and cowboys on them and floated them down the ditches pulling them with a string. It was a lot of fun for us kids and this has brought back some good memories for me. Thanks, Carol!!
