First Place Champion

Anna spent the day in Wabasha at a softball tournament. Her team won all three games and placed first in the Wabasha 12 & under Softball Tournament. Anna played first base, a little shortstop and made some fabulous catches. She was so excited to receive a medal. They were also given a coupon for a free ice cream cone at Dairy Queen.


Here's the winning team. Anna is in the top row, third from the left.

And the medal, well earned.

Congratulations, Anna and team!

Saturday

It was a georgous day today. Just look at that bright blue sky dotted with pure white clouds. I always give thanks to God on days like this for giving us nature's vivid colors to enjoy. It's just so beautiful!

Sweetie, our kitty, was exploring the vast world of our yard.

Fritzi was resting in my herb garden.

Even the cows were content and chewing their cud.

The crops are looking healthy, green and luscious. Darrell likes me to take pictures of the crops. It affirms all the hard work he does to make things grow. He is a smart, wise and brilliant farmer. I should know because I married him even when I swore I would NEVER marry a farmer. But, he was an exception since he was so handsome and smart and wise and brilliant. It made it all right.

Here are the soybeans

and the corn. There is a saying on the farm that corn should be 'knee high by the fourth of July'. Well, this corn is way over my head!

I'm ready to end this Saturday, though. Mowing, weeding, raking, haying and baling makes you dirty and tired. We all need a shower and a bed.
