The "Good Life" at the Ranch

So you may think we are crazy... but our kids are learning all about the cycle of life at the Ranch. This 1st picture is Riley and Dad discussing why you only need one rooster, and what happens to a chicken when it dies... kinda gross, but Riley was fascinated.

These are Cosmos that James planted two summers ago... we pull and pull but they keep coming back...How do you look at them and not smile... even if they are planted in your way :)

This is B, at his last Swine meeting for 4-H...such a cute little farmer nerd... sorry Goose, but you get that from your Mom :)

I love our world... even the hard work pays off in many ways. It's often a pain in the rump to feed and water all of my free time away every summer... but the payoff we get in the fresh, and fun family time... makes the work worth while... most of the time :) Thank you James for making our lives here so full of new and exciting possibility... I love you! ~D.
