The Golden Hour

This was our spectacular pink and purple sunset with a double rainbow on August 11.

I love the golden hour as the sun's rays highlight our pasture and fields as it sets. If only it would last a whole hour!
The rainbow and lightly falling rain made this evening absolutely perfect!

Happy 90th Birthday, Grandpa!

We celebrated my Grandpa Kallas' 90th Birthday on his actual birthday, August 6.

All 12 children and most spouses and grandchildren and great-grandchildren were in attendance.

It was a wonderful celebration that lasted the entire weekend!

Lake Date

Last Saturday was our Lake Date with the Johnstons!

This year cousins Kinley, Anika and Brooklyn joined in the fun, too.

Construction

 There's been some construction happening in our backyard! Nathan created a couple of cute signs for the rabbits.

And he is currently working on a winter shelter for them, too.  Stay tuned!

19 days left!

We have 19 days left in our Schwans Cares Fundraiser for WalkMS. So far Schwans has donated $203 to our team!  Due to changes in their fundraising campaigns, this one is shorter than last year, so we have fewer days to reach our goal.

When you place your next Schwans.com order, follow this link www.schwans-cares.com/c/27904 or enter 27904 at check out. We will receive 20% of your order total and you get your Schwans food delivered to your home as you normally would!  If you don't normally order from Schwans, you can purchase a $25 e-gift card for someone who does and we will receive $10 of that purchase.

We really appreciate your support with this fundraiser.

(I was a bit shocked and saddened to see that they have decided to discontinue my favorite Coffee and Donuts ice cream, but with the help of my family--and cappuccino gelato--I think I should be able to power through!)
