summer views

Here are some pictures we took  this summer  The first picture is our Australian Cattle dog -"Hitch". This summer I competed with him in a CKC stockdog trial. We qualified both trials to complete requirements for our Stock Dog Started title.

Second and third pictures are views of our back field just before a summer storm. I thought the yellow grass and red hollyhocks looked great against the dark blue stormy sky. My sheep are oblivious, happy to be munching on the grass and weeds.

Fourth picture is one of my son Hayden's young geese. He is cooling off in the water bowl.

Last but not least is a picture of the new wheels (Ford) beside the old wheels (GMC) The truck AKA "Das Boat" can now slip into semi retirement. One of my many projects this summer was to get a smaller, younger and safer vehicle for the winter. Gee I guess I like blue.
