Beautiful


My attempt at getting a photo of the partial eclipse this past week.
If you squint you might be able to see the top right missing.



We found this guy hanging on our fence.


Just before taking flight.



Pepper drinking something yummy from Dwayne's hand.




We had such beautiful weather Sunday and Monday.
It was probably some of the last few good days before winter.



Something must have smelled super good.



Pepper is so stinkin' cute.



We more or less just hung around on the farm enjoying the sunshine.







We wondered to the pumpkin patch.



Nolan was helping Grandpa Schultz.
He was thrilled to no end when he was given permission to drive the four-wheeler.
However, he missed it when grandpa told him where to park it.
Grandpa had to walk to the barn lot from the middle field.
;)


We put Pepper on the back after it was parked.
She lasted 1.5 seconds before jumping off.



This is about the only way I can get a picture of Nolan.
Unfortunately, I have an alien arm.


Walking the dog, shadow style.


We weren't the only ones "enjoying" the beautiful day.
These guys were hard at work in the bean field behind the house.


Unfortunately the wind died down and it became so dusty
you almost couldn't see the harvesters.
We stayed inside the rest of the evening.
By morning, the field was empty.

Anniversary Picture


Our twentieth anniversary picture.



We recently discovered that Connor can eat pre-made graham cracker crusts.
I decided to make a peanut butter sunbutter pie for us.
It's super yummy.

One Score

I've thought about this post frequently.
We're not ones to toot our own horn.
We like to stay behind the scenes.
We like quiet.
But, it's our 20th anniversary and
that should be celebrated.

When we were dating Dwayne gave me this:

"Things to Share with Angela"

M & M's

 In some ways it seems like we've known each other forever.
And yet, time has passed by quickly.
We've been through a lot in our 20 years.
Almost all of it good.
God has blessed us in so many ways.
We've had our share of not-so-fun times as well.

We've had ten vehicles.
We've moved four times.
We lived with Dwayne's parents for three years.
We're living in the only house we've ever owned.
And it's paid for.
We've never had an argument.
(We do disagree occasionally.)
We've had five dogs, two we had to bury.
We've been blessed with two boys.
We lost a baby.
We lost jobs.
We were baptized together.
Dwayne baptized both boys.
We've been through minor surgeries.
We've been through brain surgery.
We've been to Tennessee more times than I can count.
