These lawn mowers are recyclable, they can make great steaks too!

Our night pasture was close to the house

Let 80 cows out after milking and they often grazed near the house.

Loved the sound of them inhaling/exhaling as they grazed as we sat on the porch near dark….

Sounds foolish, but it’s something I always enjoyed.

For 99% of the time, it's great and rewarding to be around animals.

Bluebonnets(Texas State Flower) are blooming like crazy, too bad the cows don't eat them, bit of a poisonous legume to them and many other animals.

You can't disturb or pick them on state own property. I plan on mowing most of them before they produce seed pods.

Nearly half million acres burning in North Tx, praying for those farmers, ranchers, families and all the first responders.

Cut in a rough trail through the brush/woods to get to my deer blind for evening hunts. I never been through this section. I finished the trail, and then started getting some trash that I could see in the woods.
I need to go back in the trail with an electric chainsaw to take care of a few 3 to 4in trees.

Said junk/trash.

One of the better finds in the woods.

When I cut a trail through two acres of very thick brush & trees. I wanted a more discreet evening access to my hunting blind. I encountered another small corral area built back in 1930''s, and I never knew it was in there. Pulled out more trash out too.

I ran into this guy, pretty cool bird. This Trasher bird sounds a lot better than a Mockingbird.

The Coastal farmers have been planting corn like crazy. Probably 10's of thousands of acres already.

Wow - stark difference in our climate. Our guys just apparently finished a very short Maple season.

We don’t typically see corn up that far until early-mid-June. Old saying is “knee-high by the Fourth of July.”
