WE'LL WE DID AND HAD AN AMAZING "FIRST" LESSON !!

 

OUR INSTRUCTOR'S NAME IS WENDY AND SHE IS GOING

TO HELP US... BECOME A LOT BETTER FRIENDS!!

 

MY GOAL... TO HAVE AN "OBEDIENT" COMPANION!!

 

WE HAVE LOTS OF HOMEWORK & THAT'S A GOOD THING. WE SHOULD HAVE A GOOD CHANCE... AT MAKING IT TO THE TOP OF THE CLASS !! ha! ha!

 

OUR LESSON IS ON FRIDAY & IT LASTS FOR 4 WEEKS. IT IS A 2 HOUR MORNING CLASS FROM 10:00 - 12:00...THE TIME SURE PASSES QUICKLY. WE ARE OFF THE FRIDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING...SO THAT WILL GIVE CHASE SOME EXTRA TIME... TO TRY & AT LEAST BE THE BEST "GOLDEN RETRIEVER" IN THE CLASS!!

 

STAY TUNED...MORE PICTURES IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS!

FIRST SNOW !!!

 

 

SUPER "HUGE" FLAKES !!

 

I SHOULD OF MEASURED THESE!!

I THINK THEY ARE THE BIGGEST ONES WE HAVE EVER HAD ON OUR RANCH !!

 

IT DEFINITELY ADDED UP FAST!!

BUT...IT MELTED ALMOST AS FAST!!

 



 

THE FLAKES LOOK LIKE I TOOK A PAINT BRUSH & MADE THEM!!

I THINK TIGGER & TWISTER LOVE TO POSE FOR PICTURES!!

WYATT...STILL OUT TRYING TO FIND THE LAST GREEN THING TO EAT!!

HE TRULY LOVES TO GRAZE & GRAZE & GRAZE!!



 

 

STARINE HAD NO DESIRE TO GO OUT IN THAT FLOATING WHITE STUFF!!

SHE IS SUCH A PRIMA DONA!!

 

 

I GUESS FOR THE FIRST SNOW IT WASN'T THAT BAD...HOPEFULLY THE NEXT ONE WILL GO AWAY AS FAST!! OK...MAYBE IT COULD STAY A LITTLE WHILE... JUST FOR ALL THE KIDS TO MAKE SOME SNOWMAN FRIENDS!!

 

HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING!!

BE THANKFUL FOR  THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE!!

Spreading all the grass clippings & leaves...

 

Still spreading...this is an awesome spreader!!

It spreads a lot of ranch waste !! Ha! Ha!

Steve bought this for "MY BIRTHDAY" 5 - 7 plus years ago and it is still going strong!!

"ALL" my friends and family laughed when I told them...but they weren't the ones pushing the heavy WHEEL BARROW!!

 

Steve and I both share this implement...it is a life saver !!

I AM THE VINE...

YOU ARE THE BRANCHES...

 

 

 

After "really" taking a long look at my huge cantaloupe...hanging from a very strong vine

  attached to my fence...it re mined me of a classic bible verse.

It is found in the New Testament...

 

JOHN 15:5

"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him,

he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing.

 

Let's just say... I DON'T MIND BEING THE BRANCH !!

 

 

I just have to say...MY GARDEN WAS AMAZING THIS YEAR AND IT PRODUCED

SOME GREAT PRODUCE!!

 

Here is a couple more pictures to show my success...
