Day 77 - Green, green grass of home...

First things first - wishing you all a most Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

May your day be touched

by a bit of Irish luck,
brightened by a song in your heart,
and warmed by the smiles
of the people you love.

Alrighty then, on to today's photo. The greening of the fields behind our home has been calling to me so I was tickeld to see green would be this week's theme. (Somehow I just knew it would be, Karin - probably because I'm Irish myself!) ;)

Day 12 - Field Dressing

In the winter, the local farmers spread manure - lots of manure - to prepare the fields for spring planting... charming odor!

Day #272 - 'Til the cows come home...

So, here I am, living out here in the middle of cow country and I haven't taken a picture of a cow yet for this project!! Duh-huh! Ergo...

This little(!) lady lives down the road apiece and interruputed her lunch to pose for me (actually, she was just curious and wondering who the hell I was!)

Day #193 - Deer sighting...

Caught sight of this little lady prancing across the farmer's soy bean field today. Taken from my dining room window with the zoom all the way out so it's not real sharp but at least you can tell what it is.

Day #89 - Down on the farm...

This is the field and farm behind my house. It looks closer because I used my zoom, but it's a little over a 1/4 mile away. The field, separated from my backyard by a rusty ol' wire and post fence belonging to the farmer, used to be full of cows... I used to feed them clover through the fence. Though still a working dairy farm, ownership has changed, production has slowed, and the number of cows has lessened and relocated to the field beyond this one.
