No Permission Slip Required

 Do you ever go on field trips around your place?  We do.

After the heavy rains a few days ago, there was much to explore.

The rose bushes are happy.

 Looks like Valentine's Day.

 We walked across the street to check the lake levels.  This part of the lake was completely dry.  Now boats can come on over, and we can hear waves splashing the shore from our yard.  Granny and Grandpa's red barn in the distance.

 Back to our place.

 Herman welcomed us in the ditch.

 I love wildflowers.

 And Mr. Welder loves mowing them down.

 I will visit this post during the hot, summer months.

 Daisy loves the convenient water dishes spread about.

 Not so pretty...yet.  This is a tank we are going to use to catch rain water.  Too bad we got it the day we got over 5 inches of rain and did not have it ready to go.

 Are those peaches?!

 And a strawberry?!

Grandma bought Lily this plant.  Isn't it pretty? 

Field trips are fun.
