Gorgeous Sun flowers. Won't see those here for a while.

Looks like you have no shortage of dirt to dig around in!

Just a great all-'round place. Been in my family since 1912 or so. Grandpa farmed it with mules. They lived down in the woods out in front there. I don't ever have to leave home to dig. Just grab the dogs, my MD and backpack and I'm gone. When I get home, hubby has mowed the lawn and has chili cookin'. Great life! -Noodle

Hey Noodle hope you can come to the Chisholm Trail Hunt and see lots of sunflowers here.

Hey Burdie, I'd LOVE to! Will look it up, but I think it may be a bit far for me this year. Not much vacation time left. :P Thanks for the invite, though!

Sunflowers > this view would make me smile everyday !!

Talk about room to hunt. Does the area have good amount of history to it?
The way you captured the image of the sunflower was neat, you must have a touch of the photo bug in you. Thanks for posting.

Hi Johnny, the place has been occupied for roughly 3,000 years, off and on. The open fields (33 acres) hold points and Indian artifacts, and have been giving them up for a century now. I think every kid that grew up in this village has wrapped their hand around at least one. My grandparents were generous in loaning out the land for the kids to hunt and camp on. The other 57 wooded acres hold three house sites from early 1900s and two abandoned roads 1/2 mile long, which led up to two of the houses. I've located trash sites from when my grandparents lived on the land 1916-1921 until they moved "to town" a mile away. They finally tore the house down in the '50s, but the chimney is still there, as well as the daffodils that were planted around the house. You can still see the house shape. Yes, lovely history! Old farm equipment is abandoned all through the woods, with trees growing up through it. Impossible to move now. It took me five years to fully explore it after I moved here after being gone 35 years. (I inherited it.) Now I clear paths through it every spring and enjoy long walks and counting deer and raccoons.

Thanks for viewing. -Noodle

Very cool front yard!!

 

[roswellborn]

Noodle,
that's just lovely! A beautiful shot of a lovely scene.

And how wonderful that you have the ol' home place; that doesn't happen so much anymore, the way families move around so much.

Very cool :-)

p.s.
The Chisholm hunt is "only" another hour or so beyond the Sedalia hunt (last year)... just a thought.

Hey Nan,
Good to hear from you! Didn't know about the Chisholm hunt. I'll go check it out! Thanks - Noodle
