We take care of the land...it takes care of us.

We're just a couple of country dwellers......

that love nature, hunting, fishing, gardening, campfires, crafting, cooking, canning, laughter and living!!

Ya just never know what I'll blog about next...

So visit us often!

Go Jump In The Lake


How's your summer?



Any time to just "be"?

Me neither!!

My summer to-do list
just keeps growing as fast
as the weeds around here...

But, we did manage to take
a break away from
the usual grind of work,
weeds, and canning
for some lakeside
fun with 
my sister's family...


The invitation said...
A lakeside retreat
with plenty of food and fun

Well,
she had
me 
with 
"lakeside"




It didn't matter to me,
we had no fancy boat to 
stroll around on the water...

the view from the shore
was good enough 
to get me through 
another South Dakota winter!

With coffee cup in hand,
the sights and sounds
of  the water make for
a blissful morning...




Plenty of flowers to photograph...











Chillin' out...



No heavy agenda needed
to keep us entertained...

just a little
scavenger hunt
to keep the twin grand-daughter's
busy between campfires...



Their Aunt Tara would
keep them circling the cabin
looking for things on the list...




When their sand buckets were full,
it would be story time on the dock...



I hear Grandma B tells 
a pretty good Wizard of Oz
(only if she doesn't forget
the witch part!)








Summer fun at the lake...






























Ahhh, what a relaxing weekend it was!!

Smore's anyone?



See you next summer
back at the lake!!

Thanks Mr. and Mrs. B
for the invite!

Play Time



As close as we live
to the Missouri River,
it's a wonder
why we don't go there 
more often!!

If Max had his
say about it, 
we'd be there every day!!


Swim....





Fetch....





Release....

 



Shake....





Repeat...




Yeah!! Even the flowers
cheered for him on his
fetching skills!...




Hope you have 
a joyfilled, relaxing 
weekend!



Hugs,
Lisa

Wish You Were Here

How about a road trip?

(Source: Internet Photo)

It is July 20th already...
you know, vacation time???

Summer is passing me by, 
and we haven't been anywhere,
nor do we have any plans
for sporting down the highway
to a fun destination...

(what a bummer!)

So this post is dedicated
to the dream...

of summer "R and R"


 It looks like we'll
be stuck in "work mode"
till the end of summer...

a road trip will 
definitely be needed by fall...

until then, some scenic trips 
to town will be as restfull
as it gets around here!


Here's a picture postcard
to you from me
on my 
"Summer Vacation"....



If   you  happen
to motor west
or more particular
MIDWEST,

be sure to take

the back roads...

take your time...

and stop and enjoy the scenery!


You'll make some
mighty-fine memories
and bring home some
extra pretty pictures!

  
Happy Motoring my friend...
Send me a postcard from your
summer vacation,
Lisa

Sharing Some Country Pride



It's the busiest time of the year
here at Sall Farm!

Sall is busy
building and remodeling...

mowing and weeding 
just doesn't let up...
and
the Sall Farm Garden
is ready to give us our
best crop of pickles EVER...

can I just rest my fingers
for this post 
and let the pictures 
do to talking???




















 







































 Summer...
Pickling Season
are a lot of work,
but,

very gratifying work!




at the end of the day
I can enjoy a bit of rest
while I sip on a glass of this
and share it all with you!




 


 Fighting famine...
sipping wine...
blogging...

Life is good!

Thanks for stopping by!
Lisa
