A Farm Vacation Bed and Breakfast Where city people go country. "A working farm and ranch raising buffalo, and cattle; growing wheat, corn and soybeans."

Monday, June 23 I was on my way to NE a week ago and was upset with myself that I had
not updated this page. Harold and I spent a week at a camp working as grandparents at
Royal Family Kids Camp which is a camping program for neglected and abused children.
Our daughter's in-laws direct the program. The goal is to give the children a week of fun
and learning where they can be safe. Lots of activities, little sleep, interesting behaviors by
the children at times, but rewarded with smiles, side hugs, and words and actions by the
children that surprise us and make us laugh. Check out www.royalfamilykidscamp.org
On the way home from church in Doland yesterday, Harold and I took some detours to check
out the crops. On scramble hill, there is a large area where pheasants ate out the corn
seed so there is no corn growing there. If pheasant hunting wasn't such a big thing here, I
think we'd campaign to get rid of them after seeing things they can do to crops. Haven't
seen any little pheasants yet. Wheat is heading and winter wheat is starting to lose it's
dark green color. Flowers are growing and blooming, weather has been pleasant. Come
and visit!e
Thursday, June 26 A beautiful day. Had some rains and showers, makes it hard for
Harold to get some things done in the fields.
Just gave a hay ride out to the buffalo to a gal from Switzerland who came to see where her
son spent a year as an exchange student. Lovely night.
Pheasant chicks On the way out to a field to pick up the guys, I saw a hen and some
pheasant chicks - the first ones I've seen from this spring hatch. Hope there are more!
Saturday, July 5 What glorious weather we've had for the first week in July. Guests arrived
on the 3rd and as former area residents, they could not believe how beautiful it was here in
SD, the wonderful, pleasant weather in SD in July.
Harold has been spraying this week and going around lakes, getting stuck. Getting stuck in
SD in the fields in July!! I think that is a great problem to have in SD.
Wheat is beginning to turn yellow, crops look great! We are blessed!
