July

Big Party!  Look who's been married 50 years.  What a milestone that is.The party had friends and family, tents borrowed and rented, food and music, prizes and cake.  All the things a good party should have.  Even some party crashers--rural style.  These little bulls just couldn't resist.  We rounded them up out of the road and then put them in King's stall.  About that time someone else brought King up from the back field where the bugs were eating him to bits so he got to look over his stall door at the little mooing wanderers.  Soon enough some neighbors came along to collect them up and head home.  I guess if you must have party crashers...these were the perfect ones.

The end of June found Mom & the little guy relaxing in "the courtyard" when a package arrived for her Birthday.  Thanks Karl!  Happy Birthday Mom.  Yes, that's a cast she's wearing.  Someone broke her ankle but she's doing very well with her healing.

This is our bunny Yaz who has decided that all of this excitement was fun and all but she's ready for things to wind down and to get back to normal.  She spent a good amount of time hopping around the floor this morning...fraternizing with the cats.  What a funny, silly, bunny.

The game cam continues to provide us many entertaining videos.  Here are a few that we enjoy the most.  The bobcat came through just this week and that is the first we have seen one on the camera.

Remember the turkeys we saw in the spring.  Well lately it has been families of turkeys wandering through.  3 females have been here constantly with their broods and when they gather as one big group it is 3 mamas and their 20 offspring.  

That pregnant coyote did come back one night to show us her pups.  Dad, Mom & the kids keep coming through the area but usually only one or two in a video.  This one was so sweet to see them as a family.
