Pines to Prairie

Leopold Pines...

To the Curtis Prairie.

Breaking the rules by going off the trail (sssshhh!)

Hiding from the Visitor's Center.

Government Worker

Standing in front of the Capitol Building with Hans Christian Heg.

Working for the government for a day.

Where am I supposed to be again?

Getting energy from an iced mocha and looking up data.

I had fun working for the government for a day, but it was a bit overwhelming!  I will leave this to the professionals. :)

Chicken Bully!

Caught a chicken for a pose!

OUCH!  She pecked me in the cheek!

It left a mark!

It's safer in here. :)

Arboretum Trek

I found my way into an Arboretum and went on a trek...

Wonder where this path goes...

A secret passage way? 

This looks a bit spooky... and promising. 

More greenery...

To be continued... :)

Grave Digger

Starting up the tractor to run the backhoe.

Gnomey looks good on a tractor.

Using the turn crank to start the backhoe engine.

Digging the hole.

Almost got through the mess of roots.

Chickens!

Into the chicken coup!

Feeding chickens.

Cleaning up after the chickens.

This doesn't seem so bad. :)

Collecting eggs.

Happy Independence Day!

Red, White, and Blue - I'm so patriotic I match the colors of the American Flag.

Nothing more American than riding around on a 4-wheeler.

Hitting the beach on this hot July day.

Escape from the heat.

Perfect way to finish the holiday: bonfire. 

Fish?

When I came home I found this........ I think there is a fish in there.

May have to list this on the state's 'Impaired Waters List'.

Gathering supplies for the clean up plan.

Implementation of the cleaning plan.

FISH!!!!
