Flowers in Dec??

Winter has come, and snow's in the land
But lo, see the flower that's here in my hand
It doesn't need water, it's one hardy strain
Come cold or the heat, it won't feel the pain


The flower was so creatively made
The four little leaves look like cute little spades
The petals are stiff and stand there so tall
Even tho there's wind, they never will fall


So what's the secret of this cute little gem
It's really quite simple right down to the stem
So put your thoughts together in one little group
And here is your hint, it all started with soup

It came as a gift from South Dakota you see
And then my dear wife gave it to me
Be careful she said with a cute little grin
Those sharp little pokey's go right thru the skin






Art...

The boys enjoy their Art projects...and with Thanksgiving day just around the corner...it seems to fit.

Come on down to the farm...


There's a hand where the face aught to be...

My Hunters...

Sat was opening day of our deer season, Daryl landed a nice one...the rest of us are still waiting...

Daryl's pretty boy...

Today we went out and tried again...
This was Dawson's first hunt...it was pretty big stuff to go out with Dolan.


Sitting in the blind...mighty hunters




Duane patiently waiting for the Buck...that forgot to show up..maybe tomorrow


In spite of no deer today...Gods handiwork was evident everywhere..very nice but cold!

How's your memory??

A good 'ole memory game going on between Pop and Dawson. Made complete with some rootbeer and exclamations from Dawson each time Pop has bad memory. 😀

Oh no....the fridge really went this time!

For months now the ole fridge has been giving us trouble...finally after Mom's tricks all failed it went and we had to pick out a new one...I like it! And I think Mom does too...and Donny, the LED lights are pretty cool too

Happy Birthday Dolan!

We thought today was pretty special...the first time since Dolan was 15 that he was at home for his birthday...we whooped it up the best we could!
It started early....

Then in the evening we had the Hostetler/Hege cousins over.

And some very special friends, QQ and Austin...

Nice...
