I am your father

If You Wuz Me

What would you do with fifteen years of Farm Sides? And, alas, this is not the whole pile. Back in the day I used to keep track of them and file them by year in order and all so there is a half a drawer full of filed ones too.

I really want to keep them.......

And I am missing a good few.....

Portraits

One of these actually is the farmer lady. The other easily could be, at least this year. Just sayin'......

Sunday Stills...Sunrises and Sunsets

Week 'o' rain, but we had a couple just the same. 

For more Sunday Stills......

Happy Father's Day

To my own amazing dad, who taught all his children the almost fanatical wonder that comes with being truly interested in life. Whatever else happens to us in this amazing world, we will never be bored.

 Too much to see and know and do. And that includes the birds that rev my little engine every day. Dad was the birder who got it started....
Thanks, Dad, we love you. Hope your day is wonderful.




To the father of my children, to whom we hope we have passed that wonder down. Can you believe that it was 28  years ago today that we went to visit Justice McVean and came away matched up in double harness for life? Amazing....what a team! 

Hope you have a great day too. Happy Fathers/Anniversary Day.

To a certain young dad we know and love, enjoying Father's Day with the most beautiful grandbaby in the world.... Have a great one, you make us proud to know you and your family.

And to all you fine fathers who stop by to read this...have a terrific Father's Day all of you!

Surprise Pressie

Right outside the back door! Although we have a steady stream of Baltimore orioles eating oranges if we have them, or just hanging around yelling at us if we don't, I haven't seen an actual nest in a long time.

Then the other day when I was standing in the driveway I heard softly twittering baby birds (and they don't even have iPhones!) I looked up in the big old box elder and thought I saw this nest. Today I had some time so I went up above on the lawn and from there you can see it.....barely.....

 

Cool, huh?

Farm Girls Don't Fear the Dirty Jobs

In the "Cow" Bird Seat

Another lucky miss yesterday. We got about seven sprinkles, while nearby Middleburgh and Schoharie were flooded so badly that the children were stuck in the school for a very long time and the roads were closed.

Meanwhile we had the first really nice day in what seems like a while. As always after a spell of bad weather, the jobs had mounted up and there was a lot to try to catch up.

However, while the catbird was busy, busy, busy, the cows took it easy in the sunshine......
