Memories

This barn was built in the 1930s by Marion Prier and his brothers. I put tin on the barn, which was originally red in the 70s in hopes of preserving the barn for future generations. Sadly, this was not meant to be and the barn burnt completely down in the mid 1990s. It’s funny how…

We finally got the eagle to his final resting spot...and it's in the front yard :)) I built the stand myself and with the help of my neighbor, our farmhand and the aid of the front end loader we got her perched. My wife isn't as amused with the newest edition, but I think she's beautiful.

Beauty is all around us.

We are in the mist of total hay overhaul, nothing else matters during hay season. While loading hay unto the hay hauler, my eyes were drawn to the field across the road. This field is used for pasture only and is in a state of complete over grown beauty. Sometimes you have to stop and…
