Where have all the roses gone?!

I picked a large quantitiy of roses from this bush along the highway, and

there were plenty left to form these rosehips.

another view


and a closer look at some rosehips out in the pasture



These rosehips are on a bush that is growing in an old tractor scoop!
They turn a beutiful bright red.

In the pasture, on the hill...

This marker has been on the hill in our pasture for as long as all my siblings can remember.

If you have our family cookbook, this is the hill that is in the title. We can see in to the next state and also in to the next coutry from this high spot. Our family often used to take a walk in the pasture and climb this hill. This marker was alway impressive to us as children. Our parents

made sure we treated the marker with respect.

It says if the marker is harmed, it could mean a $250 fine or imprisonment.

Pretty scary to a child!
