I'm Back!
And as usual I am also behind, I hope your symptoms of withdrawal from my not feeding your need for my deep philosophical views of the art of the photograph were not too bad. (I really know you just come back to see how bad I am going to destroy the proper use of grammar but I just type the ramblings the fly through my disjointed mind.)
Back on point Day 11: An Interesting Geological Feature.
As I signed off on my last post I mused of what type of dirt I was going to photograph for today's shot. Well I do believe that the beautiful sand storm we had Saturday led to the creation of the subject I found to shoot today. Who wooda thunk it that some'n good would come outta that nasty brown day. I had about decided the most interesting geological feature i was going to be able to shoot was a red sand hump where an old barbed wire fence caused sand to pile up after many years, and I captured a few interesting images of a sand hump. After i was done with the pics of the hump i started driving back to the barn when something caught my eye poking out of the ground. It looked like a sole of a shoe sticking up, I got out to investigate and saw that it was an old boot that had been buried in the ground for who knows how long and the wind Saturday has excavated it. It may not be a grand landscape from Arches National Park nut I thought it fit the assignment, if you don't then go suck an egg.
Enjoy and Come back tomorrow for Day 12: An Animal

My View From the Farm
Howdy! Welcome to my little blog. I decided to try my hand at this thing called blogging. And what a better topic to blog about than what I love doing and that is farming!
I will use this blog to let you follow along with me as I attempt to have a successful farming operation in this challenging time of high input costs and low commodity prices.
Where do we stand as of now? Well that can be answered in one word: DRY! The winter and spring of 2009 has been extremely dry and windy here on the high plains of Texas. So we are starting a little behind the eight ball but there have been some scattered thunderstorms around so we could catch up on moisture anytime. Every day we are one day closer to a rain.
What is the current state of the farm? We have wheat for harvest growing and have begun haying some of our wheat. Fertilizer is going out on the cotton and peanut ground. I still don't have a good plan on how many acres are going into peanuts and cotton, but peanut acres will be down this year due to low prices and demand for peanuts. Please eat more peanuts!
I will do my best to keep you posted.
