A shot of turtles sitting on a log in the Mississippi River...among the America Lotus floating plants. Some have their necks out...looking around. When it starts raining, they go under water so they won't get wet.....:)
One of our OXEN teams hooked up to their wagon. We give people rides in this wagon, telling them about the experience of the Pioneers as they crossed the plains. This is Duke and Don, our milking shorthorn oxen. They respond to oral commands and can be driven by a 10 year old who knows the commands.
Pam, Jer, Don, and Duke. Duke doesn't like women, so we always have the ladies stand on Don's side of the team for their pictures. These oxen weigh around 2300 pounds each. Your average horse weighs about 1250 pounds.
Well, time to get ready for our district meeting tonight....a pot luck dinner. Darn, we have to eat again.....:)
Love to all......... and HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE DADS.
Jerry and Pam
