A day or two in our life

We were fortunate enough to have these 3 ducks fly right up

to our dining room window. They ran all over our yard that

day and there are still two around here as one green

head won the heart of the mallard.

It seems there has to be a boss

There has to be a worker. Drilling a hole for a tree.

A small tree!!

More labor intense it seems

It seems even the boss had to get on his knees.
With some major help from Justin the landscaping
project is complete. Now if everything will grow, I
will be happy.
Ty's planting outfit. How would you like to have to
turn around at the end of the field with this? Me, I would
be in the fence or the other persons field.

As I was walking...........

I came across some dried grass in the back yard.

Thinking it must be grass from when I mowed my

first thought was to pick it up and put it in the garbage.

My second thought was, "Nope, there is some feathers

'in there amongst the grass". Now if you know me

you know I don't like feathers and will not touch one.

I decided this grass had to go, therefore I did pick it

up and low and behold underneath all that grass was

a bunny bed with 5 (count them) bunnies in there.

I immediately dropped the grass and covered them

back up thinking they will be gone before too long and

besides Bailey is on her way here in a couple of weeks.

Problem solved. I then decided I needed a picture of

these flowers chewers so I had to pick that grass up

again but I doubled checked the grass covering and

"Hey, it wasn't feathers after all, it was rabbit fur".

I was safe. They are awfully close to my house. I

know they like flowers so they better grow up fast

and move away.

They are cute but such stinkers.

My tulips are blooming and I am hoping those little bunnies
leave them alone.
Another flower for the rabbits.

As a last resort I can tell you I am a good shot with a 22

Another day on Dakota Prairie

The finches arrived by the scores today. There were

probably 60 to 70 of them here today. Not sure if

it was the wind, the heat or just a good day to find food.They had lots of feed and water for their meals.
Some stood guard while the rest ate

There must of been food on the ground as they

everywhere today.

The heifers seemed to be interested in what I was

doing out in their territory.

They are just so nosy. They came right up to me

to check things out.

They were finally enjoying the day as the wind had

gone down and it was 78 degrees out there.

They all want to say, "Hey" or maybe it was "Hay"

For those that love the CAT brand

As the potato people move in so does the equipment.A CAT for every job and several men
Some wheeled and some track

Need I say more??

This is a ripper on this CAT

There were 5 different CAT tractors in the field

Life on the prairie

This is one miserably windy day.

Here the finches are facing into the wind holding on

for dear life. Every bird for him self.The wind blew all the feed onto the ground so the

finches are busy finding their meal. There are

about 50 of them in my yard this am.

It seems I am on heifer patrol as they think they

should go to the interstate. Anyway, some of them are just

lazing around. I am thinking they must feel safer on the

ground thinking this way they won't get blown away.

These girls are filling their bellies with water to keep

them grounded for the day. Notice the ducks

swimming in the pond.

Just call me Mj!!!

The saw waiting for someone to use it.My handy man making a raised garden bed for me .
These boards were heavy so I just watched.

Putting them together so they will NEVER come apart.

More hammering and making sure they stay together.

The dirt is in and now it needs a bit of a clean up job.

Now I know this isn't very big but remember I HATE

GARDENING!!!!! This will be all I can handle.

Now this landscaping project has been in the making

for about 2 years. My Nine Bark bushes had to be

protected therefore the pails over top of them for

safety sake.

This project is now ready for flowers, bushes, whatever.

I need ideas so if anyone has any , please feel free to

offer your opinion.
