Country Time

This afternoon we were invited to Missy's farm so Tom could fish a little and I could see the cattle and enjoy the country. The weather was perfect. Clear and warm but not too hot. You could walk all over and not raise a sweat. We had a lovely afternoon. The farm has more or less 100 acres. I love the fact that all over the South you find these idyllic spots tucked just off the road.

This is one of the lakes at Missy's. The front lake. There is also a back lake AND a middle lake. The other two are not as big, but the back lake, so we've been told, has some 6+ lb. bass in it. But maybe that is a fish tale...









Here is part of the cattle herd Missy and her husband have. These is the moms and tots group.











These little guys are twins! The white one is 6 minutes older than the chocolate one.












And this little one was born yesterday. He had to be helped into this world because he is so big. His momma was a little bit up the path and keeping watch as we took a photo. We were riding in a 'mule' so we didn't disturb them too much.






And these are two of the dogs on the place. They are house dogs. The black one is a rat terrier-Boston Terrier cross. I'm not sure of the tan and white one. Both were with us in the mule as we rode around. The black one, Bogey, is old and spoiled rotten. He will bring a piece of his food to DeWitt, Missy's husband, who then holds it in his hand while he eats it!
