Discovered this while walking W/O the dogs! Incredibly still it waits for us to leave. June and July are heavy fawning periods in south texas.
Recent rains encouraged this beautiful cap to grow and spread! Any ideas? It is believed this edible mushroom is a coprinus sterquilinus which white upon emergence but this speciman has another fungus turning it black.
A new nurse! The sweet heart is half Holstein and half Jersey and 6 years old. It took her a day or two but she accept her first charge. These Angus have twins with some regularity so a nurse cow is a good thing! Two nurse cows with 3 'kicked off' calves so far. 012919
What I admire about the Russians is their pride in being Russian and their respect for their homeland.
When Russians get tipsy they say “У меня вертолёты.” Lit. “I have the helicopters.”
There are two kinds of envy in Russian. “белая зависть” or “white envy” which is the good kind, where ultimately you are genuinely happy for the person and their good fortune. I think you can guess the other kind.
Russian’s terms of endearment are the best. “Солнышко” lit. “my small sun” and “Дорогуша” meaning “dearie” are among my favorites
Your first semester as a uni student is called “Боевое крещение” lit. “baptism by fire.”
When a Russian person feels like you are pulling their leg, they might say “Не надо мне лапшу на уши вешать” which means “don’t try to play me.” The literal translation? “Don’t hang noodles on my ears”
Russian people like to show their love for something by using diminutives, so phrases like “Буду кусочек этого тортика” lit. “I’ll have a teeny tiny piece of that cakey” and “Мне очень понравился этот супчик” lit. “I really liked that soupy-soup” are a common thing. My favorite diminutive, though? It’s “cпасибочки!” which literally means “Thankie!”
Reposting this pic. Many evenings I sit here drinking a beer and looking over tumblr to see what other folks are doing. I post part of my day or part of my week and I think dang 'I Am Blessed!' Blessings to you all! Life only comes 'round once. Grab it and know you are blessed! Remember 'it came to pass' so tough times will leave.
Hard to play hide and seek when you’re a cow!

Its hot out! Barn swallows uh... in the barn! They are welcome!
Yep
Dude I'm glad you're posting your life! A lot of us just reblog someone else's. Texas is the greatest State!
It will give me chance to spend more time at home and possibly never drive more than 20 a miles raduis to make a living. I plan to start a facebook page and pay the advertisement to get me to around 200,000 followers. The population in my area of Texas doubles every ten years. I could be doing a couple million a year by then. This venture will set me free slaving in an office 50+ hrs a week on top of a 13 hour a week long distance commute. I may even build a giant green house at the ranch and start growing all of my own flowers that I will definitely be using like these this year below.
Mostly photos of my life in South Texas. I share what I love. The Outdoors and Ranch Life.
