Looking across an empty stack lot (hay lot) towards the ranch house.
With all the rain this year the wild flowers have been beautiful.
There are a few interesting calves at the ranch this year.
I guess it is because there are a few interesting cows at the ranch.
Some cows have character. Some have personality. Some have both.
The ranch house has natural insulation in the summer. The vine completely covers the north and east side of the house. 
Its kind of like living in a tree house. No need for curtains in the windows because the leaves cover them.
Several people have had a hand in selecting the kind of flowers and plants at the ranch house. Some of these would have been planted by my grand parents.
This would be some of Uncle Kevin's work
.
This looks like some of Moms work.

The trees at the ranch house make it an oasis on the vast open prairie. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Kristen took all of these pictures.
