Good morning! Here is a sunset photo taken last evening.

I hope your day is off to a good start. It's kind of cold here, 9 degrees when I went out for morning chores. Snow is forecast for tonight. Just typical January weather.

Have a great day, wherever you may be!

Stay safe and well.

Snowy Branches

2021-01-15T10:06:00.000-06:00

Good morning! I'm late with today's post because I wanted to get photos of the snowy tree branches we have here this morning. The top one was taken around 7 a.m. and the one below around 9 a.m., hence the difference in color.

We got several inches of snow yesterday and last night. Nice fluffy snow that hasn't blown around yet.

May you have a wonderful day! I plan to stay inside where it's warm until time for evening chores.

Tuesday

The photo is a sunrise scene from a few weeks ago.

Yesterday was a usual type day. I got up at 4:30 to eat breakfast and get ready to go out for chores. The temp was in the 20's when I headed to the barn. No wind. A very nice morning, though a bit slippery for walking.

We weaned 10 calves the other day and that means 10 less calves for me to feed bottles to now. I can handle that. The calves all drank well. Our dog, Lefty, followed me around hoping for an ear scratching, and the cats loitered here and there waiting for warm milk.

After chores I had coffee and checked Facebook and this blog. After lunch my husband asked me to ride along to a nearby town to get a part. Well, the part wasn't there so we came home again. I then worked on taking down the Christmas tree.

Before long it was time to watch the late afternoon news. Then it was time for calf chores again. Supper was leftovers. Then it was time to think of something to blog about. And, that ended the day.

See you tomorrow.

Happy Wednesday!

Stay safe and well.

Here's the round barn that was on the farm where I grew up.

I took this photo for 4-H, probably around 1970, back in the days of film cameras. Remember those? Film was expensive so you didn't take many pictures, one of each scene probably. This photo, for example, is the only one I have of the old barn being used for pigs.

(I blogged about this barn most recently in 2011. I found that out by typing "round barn" in the "Search This Blog" box in the side column.)

It was built in 1918 and survived until 2008 when it was hit by a tornado. I hadn't taken a photo of the barn for years. As luck would have it, though, a week before the tornado I stopped by and took a quick picture. Maybe I jinxed the poor old barn!

Recently, I put this picture on a barn site on Facebook. It got 400 responses.

Have a tremendous Tuesday!

Stay safe and well.

Husband's Pigeon Photo

2021-01-11T04:00:00.004-06:00

On Saturday I posted about not having any new photos to use here on the blog.

Well, that morning my husband surprised the heck out of me by asking to use my camera. I asked him what for and he said he wanted to take a picture of the pigeons that live in the cattle shed. So, this is that picture. It's not beautiful, but he did get the pigeons.

Have a marvelous Monday!

Stay safe and well.
