Wow!

 Yesterday Kyle and I drove down to

Garden City. About 118 miles.

It's our closest BIG city.

They have a Walmart, Target AND Sams!

Anyhow.

We stopped at Walmart and bought a

cart full of stuff we need.

Then we went to the biggest store EVER.

Mennards.

This was HALF their light section.

Anyhow.

We got the things we needed from there.

And some good information for fencing

in the new garden.

And then it was off to Sams for a mattress

and some other things we needed.

(Like MEAT. It's way cheaper there...)

On the way back we were following a pretty

big thunder storm, but because we were

behind it, we got none of the weather

and all of the beauty.

You guys, Kansas is GORGEOUS!

This is a little south of us, so they got

their wheat in earlier and it is so pretty!

(Up by us it is just heading out and still green...)

BEAUTIFUL double rainbow.

(Notice the light one is a reflection!

The color bands are in the opposite order!)

The sun hit it and the colors were so vibrant!

It was a full band, but I couldn't get a picture

because it was beside and behind us.

Simply lovely!

Before all that we went to the farm and emptied out

the water trough. Since there are no cows there

to drink the water and eat the green stuff growing

in there, there was LOTS of green stuff growing in there.

We shoveled and pitch forked all the green out

and then let it drain.

We will go back Monday and scrape out the

rest of the mud and fill it up again.

Beau loves a good swim in the trough!

Then out into the grass to dry off.

We walked down into the valley below 

and checked out the trees.

We woke this morning to a good thunderstorm.

But now the sun is shining and we are

getting ready to go meet our new Ward Family.
