I took a few pictures of our place yesterday, to share with you. I don't have any reason for the subjects in these, just thought they might be interesting.
This is a picture of our Bucyrus-Erie dragline. We put the excavting bucket on so we can use it to put in our septic system. My husband's a collector of antique machinery. (He couldn't have chosen stamps?
Here's our sawmill and some of the sawbolts we have to make lumber to repair our barn. We
haven't finished setting it up since we moved in here.
Our house is surrounded by pines, but the woods on the other side of the fields is mostly ash, maple and poplar. The maples and ash have lost most of their leaves, but the poplars are a beautiful gold.
And here is a picture of one of our donkeys. Her name is Daisy and we don't really do anything with her. Hug her and brush her and pet her. She's a great companion.
Well, that's all. A small glimpse into our lives.

Hi! I just finished looking at your pictures here and felt oddly at home. We are also in the midst of septic digging (have you started yet?) and used a sawmill to make the boards for our cabin. Now I must admit we didn't use any ANTIQUE machinery to do it but with all the things that tend to go wrong with equipment during a project like this, one could imagine they were antique! Thanks for sharing your photos today. I just posted a bunch myself including our rocky septic trenches ~ stop by if you get a chance.

What gorgeous pictures! Can I include your blog in our Fall Farm & Homestead Tour?
Add more pictures, too! Love the barn and beautiful fall colors!
LOL at your comment about your husband's collectibles ~ too funny!

You are our featured blogger this week!
I so enjoyed the pictures from your farm and browsing through your blog entries. I haven't ever been to Minnesota so it's kind of neat to see it firsthand this way.
I totally understand what you're going with as far as just trying to figure out what God wants you to do with all of that land. We deal with that as well so I'm looking forward to following along with your journey!
Blessings,

I read that you were the featured blogger this week and had to come over and see your farm. It's wonderful!
Exactly the sort of place I envision for my family, although my kids are almost grown...for my grandkids, I guess! LOL
