Berit and I walked to the bridge across the creek that is really a ditch after dinner last night. 
Even though our landscape is wide open and devoid of forests and mountains it has a certain charm all of its own.
Especially in the evening, just after a dinner from the gardens and just before I put the last ni ni touches on the animals and set up the kitchen for the next day. Yoghurt yesterday. Cheese today. Daisy cannot wear her bra until her wound is closed. We have a wee while to go. But in a few weeks I hope she will be all safely tucked away.
I have not been down as far as the bridge in a few weeks and we discovered that the muskrats had rebuilt their dam.
Crossing the line. The second shot is the dam from the POV of the bridge. A good dam. So good the dogs could have a swim. 
Big Dog passed on the swim. Deciding that as he was still upright he would begin the walk home. He keeps surprising me this old dog. 
Lots done. Lots more to do. Life is good.
I hope you all have a lovely day.
Your friend on the farmy

As a former prairie dweller, I agree about the “charm all its own.” Absolutely. Evening in the prairie–oh, how glorious.
I like the open landscape and the big sky.
Early evening is the best time of day as far as I am concerned. Soft and warm from the summer day….everything in a lazy hush. The last golden light from the sun. Daisy’s udder is looking good. So glad to see big dog, too. Remember that song….Muskrat love?
I do remember that song, it often comes to mind when I see them in the water.. c
I love the last photo, but it makes me shiver. When the heat goes out of the sun, I need a jumper or want to hide under the duvet. What a waste of space I am! 😆
I love Big Dog. I think I could learn a lot about patience from him.
My favorite time of day on the farm…lovely.
I want to go for an evening walk with you all!
Big Dog has some determination – Handsome Boy – love the other two swimming – great capture 🙂 Happy Day on the Farmy!
It ABSOLUTELY does have a charm all its own! Beautiful and serene. I love all the animals on your farm but Big Dog makes me want to hug and kiss him every time I see him. ~ April
So glad to have a photo of Big Dog . . . . seriously considering every step – methinks he is enjoying his old age . . . Boo and Ton swimming in the evening glow – Max would so fit into that little adventure . . .
just imagine if John brought Max down, he is determined that Boo and Max would be very bad boys together!.. c
How do you both know unless you have tried the three gorgeous ‘monsters’ together 😀 ? Anyways John put it down on paper that if I managed to get to Chicago he would bring me down for the day!!!! – and I WOULD bring Max . . . . [hmmm!!!!] . . . . . [oh yoicks, Eha, stop stirring!!!!!!!!]
Ha ha ha, what a day that would be!! wonderful thought..c
Hate to tell you it isn’t just a thought from my side, Milady!!!! It will happen!! . . . .
Even Excellenter!!.. c
Love the old man of the farm, Big Dog! He is wonderful!!
It is a beautiful place you have there. Give Big Dog a hug for me.
Peaceful post….I enjoyed that:)
