Had some beautiful fall weather this past weekend...headed back towards home on Saturday and pregged a few cows for a neighbor then spent the afternoon back at my folks place. We've had better than our fair share of moisture this summer and fall and the grass has been really good. Cattle are in great shape and its been a fairly good year all together so far. Its been a while since I just had time to look around and enjoy the scenery so I took a few photos to share. Hopefully I can turn a couple of them in to Christmas presents for dad. Even got a homemade dinner from mom for stopping by...couldn't beat that!

Looking northwest...the buildings are on the second ridge over...about a mile



and now westward...you can't faintly see the cell tower in town about 10 miles away.



Recently added windmills to the south.



My vantage point for all the previous photos...a whopping 2,000 ft above sea level.
