Thank y'all for the kind comments!

I am so thankful it is not a picture of him wearing a hoodie and rambling the streets as so many teens are doing. I really fear for my children and grandsons having to live and experience such horrible, ungodly activities going on in our nation. I'm thankful they have all had a taste of the outdoors, the children growing up on the farm and the grands at least returning a couple of times a year to enjoy family, fellowship, fishing and hunting and even doing a bit of the old fashioned thing called "work".

So, you knocked the nest out of the tree?

I have something else you can try your skills on. Saw this critter this afternoon while I was mowing around a pond.

Estimate it was about 6 ft long. And trying to get the heck out of Dodge (away from me)!

I did.
But what you see is a young bunny.

Snakes don't bother me, as long as I know they are there.

Congrats GD!

These pictures are from just outside of our little village. There is a small parking spot on top of a hill with three trees, three benches, some boulders, a large cross & an oak barrel with some trivia questions about Schnaps. You have nice view of the crops & our village. This is where we normally take our dogs for walks. I took 7 pictures this morning so I'll make two posts to get em all in here.

Hope you enjoy & Thanks for looking!

Nice Tom.
Would love to get back to Germany some day.
We really enjoyed our time there.

Quick Steel · Post by **Quick Steel** » Mon Jun 08, 2020 11:41 am

Me too. Spent a year in Bavaria. My apartment (BOQ) was right at the end of the tram line on the north side of Munich.

Never lived there but my son did and daughter in grace is German. Love the beautiful country. They sure keep it clean.

Mumbleypeg · Post by **Mumbleypeg** » Mon Jun 08, 2020 2:24 pm

Thanks for the pictures Tom. You’re making me want to come back to beautiful Germany. As you know I’ve spent a lot of time there in all parts of the country. The schnapps remind me of going out with friends there, always ending the evening with a round of schnapps, and often also snuff with the schnapps. As I recall you put the snuff on the back of one hand and the glass of schnapps in the other hand. Drink the schnapps and then snort up the snuff from the other hand.

I can’t remember the reason for this tradition?

Tom, I miss all the trails that link all the towns. You can walk or bike forever in Deutschland. Great pictures!

TPK · Post by **TPK** » Tue Jun 09, 2020 9:53 am

Well, beings my pictures from Germany got such pleasant responces yesterday, and I have vacation this week, I took 100 more pictures today.

Follow me now as I leave the house, look out the door, go down the front steps, see the pigions in my car port, look at the flowers next to my car, walk through the fields, talk to our longhorns

or scottish highland cattle, see the Texas sized Bumblebee's

and arrive back home where Schnurri awaits our return.

Please give me ten min. to get all the pictures posted. Hope you enjoy the pictures & thanks for looking.

I'm going to make some "Under Construction" posts first to save spaces for the pictures.
