Haying, Airplanes, and More.

Lately Dad has been busy haying. A few days ago I went over and helped bale hay while he raked it. Here a a few pictures I took.







Here is a picture of the Super Cub.


And a picture taken from the Super Cub of our place.


A weird cloud from a few weeks ago.

Water

A while ago, I went canoeing on our reservoir and got some pictures. Most of them are a few weeks old since I was slow getting a blog post up.
The reservoir is completely full and doesn't really look like something from the Montana plains.

Some geese with large goslings.

A pair of goslings who thought Sam and I were after them. (One is surfacing after diving underwater.)

My silkie hen, Cotton, and her chick. (She is a really good mother.)

A neat cloud to the northeast of our place.

Branding Pictures

We had a small branding on Wednesday. I think we branded somewhere around 70 head. This is probably the last branding of the year. A friend from Iowa flew up in an airplane and spent a few days with us. He is the one that took all these pictures. The branding went really well and we had really good help.

A long range picture.

Aerial Photos

First a picture of our new airplane. It is a '56 Super Cub. We got it in mid June. I'll probably get some better pictures and write more about it later.


Here are some aerial pictures I took out of it last Thursday.

There is a lot of green grass.

Update

I don't have many pictures, but I needed to post something. We had our branding on the 11th and things couldn't have gone much better. Since then, we have been busy moving cattle and fixing fence. Once we are done with that we will need to start putting up hay. There is grass everywhere.

Here's some pictures of one of our hayfields.



Just some grass out in a pasture.


The house.


A picture of a rainbow. We haven't been getting that much rain recently, but it is still pretty wet.
