A New Investment

I happened to be walking down to get the mail 

when the boys came home 

with their new investment.

Now if only spring would hurry up and arrive

so all the farmers can start baling

and they can start wrapping.

Elsie's New Wheels

After a tangle with a truck and trailer 

that blew a red light 

a week and a half ago

Elsie was in need of a new car.

Since Luke and Ben happened to both be home on Friday

several of us went to Mankato to look at Kias.

Molly, Jack, and I went shopping at Michael's and Hobby Lobby

while Luke, Ben and Elsie did the car looking.

The boys did the vehicle inspecting 

and made the salesman very, very nervous.

Ben did the wheeling and dealing.

And Elsie got to bang the gong after saying yes.

She came home with a 2017 Kia Forte.

It's a nice car!

A Cool Morning

'Twas a crisp one again the other morning.

But the sky was blue

so there was no complaining!

The young calves welcomed a fresh cornstalk bale

to play and lay on.

Super Cold...Again

About every 5-10 days 

we have two or three days 

of way too far below zero temperatures.

So we might as well have some fun with it.

 And get really cool pictures too!

But look!!

There's blue skies!

So no complaints!

A Frosty Morning

If I had known there was such a heavy frost coming overnight

I would have brought the laundry in!

This is the beauty that we woke up to Monday morning.

So many shades of blue.

Such pure white.

Even the chicken castle looks impressive in it!
