Sunday 'Round the Farm --

KC — What comes up when my computer wakes up in the morning,

Strong winds blew through this past week. The roofing panels you see held down in the foreground were just a few of many caught up in the wind and blown all over the ground. The builders had not thought to secure them when they left for the day. Shadow's inspecting the damage.

Old roofing came up, but not off. It'll need repair.

One of the trees in our yard on a cloudy, blustery day.

Snowed the other day. Laurie put Maddie's blanket on. Pete was there to supervise.

While putting laundry away Daddy teased KC with a dangling sock. KC responded.


Shadow and Dad played Jolly Ball.


But Daddy mis-kicked.

Ever alert Shadow pounced on the ball and brought it back. She Loves Her Jolly Ball.

Finally, we saw a neat sunset yesterday.

Thanks for stopping by. See you next week.

It’s a perfect pictorial essay, with a peaceful ending.

I love the pic of KC on your computer.

I’m glad Shadow was on the ball supervising your wind damages! We had high winds here, too, on Friday. Some of our outdoor Christmas decorations came down. Of course Sophie barked to let us know when they fell.

Pete and Maddie seem to have settled in nicely.

Remind me of when I used to go in the dark room and developed silver images, negatives clouds, The sky, magical

rewarding than manipulating an image digitally. But I'll take it. Thanks Walleye.
