Wordless Wednesday - Out For a Walk

 

The creek just down the road from our house. 

Country Life

Last week the sun popped out for a few days and I sure didn't want to miss it! I'd been seeing pictures of morel mushrooms on Facebook and wanted to do some looking of my own. Luckily we found a spot last year that's only about a mile from the house. It made for a nice walk...a little sun and little exercise :)

I found one right off the bat, but only found about 5 or 6 more. A nice start...let's just hope there are more out there in another week or two!

After my walk back, I took a stroll around the yard. Never hurts to look in your own trees, but no luck. It was still nice to just be outside and enjoy the country life :) Mama Kitty followed me on my walk around the yard.

And I can't go near the pasture without these two wanting some attention. At least in this picture they're inside the fence! They played escape artists yesterday and went to visit the neighbors...ugh!

Weeds or flowers? I'll let you decide. Either way, I think they're pretty :)

A couple more shots "touring" our property. I think those might be actual ladybugs, rather than those annoying beetles!

And after my walk, Harley and I hung out on the front steps and enjoyed some more sun. Gotta love that smile :)

Where the Buffalo Roam

Sometimes on Friday afternoons Jesse and I like to hop in the car and cruise around the country side. It's a lot nicer now that the sun is starting to shine and the grass is starting to turn green. We just pick a direction and see where the road takes us. A couple weeks ago we wound up on a road close to Jesse's brother's, but one I'd never been on before, apparently. Because out of nowhere, there were buffalo!

 

I had no idea there were buffalo in this area and no idea they were this close to his brother's house! We drove by at the perfect time since they were eating right up close to the fence. I was a little worried that this one had his head out of the fence! But he popped back in pretty quick when I got out to take pictures. Of course Jesse wouldn't let me pet them...what a fun-hater...lol :)

These buffalo live on a ranch along with cows. Of course now my wheels are turning as to whether our fence will hold a buffalo (our cow did get out the other day!) and how young you can get them. They're just the coolest creatures to see up close! Wouldn't they make a fun pet :)

Wordless Wednesday - The Beauty of Weeds

Roadside Beauty

I love living and driving in the country for many reasons. The top on my list right now is to see all the beauty along the road! The ditches are full of wild flowers in the spring and summer :)

Here are a couple of pictures I got yesterday on my drive home from an appointment:

Now...if I could just figure out how to get these to grow in my flowerbed the way they grow in the ditches :)
