THE FEDDES FAMILY

View fullsize

Marvin and Nell Feddes stopped and stayed overnight with us. They are from Manhattan, Montana and we have been buying bulls and enjoying their fellowship for nearly 20 years. This is a photo of some of their cattle.

I like a paragraph from their website that states: "We are thankful to our Creator and Savior for the privilege of caring for the land, developing cattle to a higher level, helping to feed our nation, and making a good living for our families while enjoying the ranching lifestyle. We are especially thankful for the relationships we have formed over the years and for the opportunity to help others succeed in reaching their goals. This is not just a business for us. It is a way of life and a gift from God."

Thanks for being such great friends.

Julia with Whiskers

This is Julia with Whiskers.

Whiskers is the rabbit...!!!

This is Whiskers. A cottontail rabbit that Molly caught in the basement at the Henricks Place. We were surprised to see one so small, so early. Rainbow has lots of different animals to enjoy. Oh and Spur our three footed mamma cat had four kittens two days ago. They will be just right for Little Ranchers Camp.

Happy Birthday Danny 2013

Today we celebrated Danny's birthday. He is truly a blessing even at the age of 13 as we found out today. Dad and Mom sure love you Danny, and daily thank God for you.

Good Moisture

Larry just took this photo looking east out of the window just behind the computer monitor. God is quite an artist, we just get to record it in various forms.

COFFEE IS ON

Lori Wilken of Wilkens Angus always claims to have the coffee pot on and invites all to stop in for "a good cup of coffee". We have enjoyed some of that coffee. But if you can't quite make it to Faith, South Dakota to get a good shot of "cowboy coffee"... we generally have the pot on as well. And the welcome mat is always out. Check out Gary and Lori Wilken's bull sale coming up in a couple of weeks. And whether you are at the Wilken's Ranch or the Lonetree... make sure you take some time for quality fellowship.

Can Hardly Wait

The prospects of The Ol' Swimming Hole filling up look much improved as the snow continues to fall. The Reinhold kids can hardly wait, as seen in this fun picture from this afternoon. Weather report... Snow falling at the rate of an inch an hour and temperature at 15 degrees. (Must be the Scandinavian bloodlines)
