I love nights when we can just relax and the sunset is gorgeous and the kids are all getting along so well. There is nothing better than that!
(You'll notice our playset is on it's side. On Ashton's birthday, July 23rd, we had a high wind come through our area and it blew the playset over. We also had big limbs out of several trees and we lost one tree completely. Last year on his birthday, our favorite tree was struck by lightning. We've had a hard couple of years when it comes to weather and damage.)
The night wouldn't be complete without a bonfire
dirty kids are a sign that much fun was had
Our chicks are getting so grown up. They will be laying very soon
our guinea
a view from the newly fenced pasture
some of our Cherry Eggers
The run in shelter for the horse and goats that Jerry built. It has a coat of primer on it and is ready to paint. (The horse and goats are here now and I can't wait to blog about them.)
back to the beautiful sunset
overlooking our hayfield
the beautiful moon
Looks like a wonderful night!!
I can't believe summer is coming to an end!
Sorry about your play-set...we sure do get some crazy winds around here huh?!:)
Enjoy the night

What a beautiful landscape. Just the perfect scenery to look at while you run! I'd love to have you join me....then maybe I'll take a mini vacation and come run with you on the beautiful piece of land!
Your kids are gorgeous! You just gotta love a little man with a hammer!
Have a great weekend, Stephanie!
