KS Views

Wild west it is.  After spending a few days with Brad in TX Max, Molly, and I headed north to KS to spend some time "on the farm."  Being home was great.  You have to love it when the weather report states  "tomorrow will be a sunny day with  breezy winds at 20mph."  That's when you know when you are in KS.  Spending time with family at home always seems to make me more home sick.  Does anyone else ever fell that way?  I love sitting by the fire and looking out the window at the fields and the sun.  For thoes of you who don't know, Southwest KS is a very sunny place.  Sure their are great sunsets at the beach, but they will never beat the sunsets at home in KS.   Another thing that I love is when the sun comes up after a storm as passed through the night.  Here is a picture of what I mean.

                                          

The deep bright yellow against the deep blue against the light blue is always so awsome to see.  It's even better when it is a field of wheat, but it's the wrong time of year for that.  Maybe on my next trip.  I know a lot of you have "driven through" western KS, but next time try to take in the beauty of it. 

One of the other fun things about being home was seeing how my city dogs reacted to "hunting" in KS.  (No animals were hurt on this outing.  Plus I don't think Max and Molly would know what to do if they actually caught something.)  They sure do love to sniff out anything and everything.  My parents pups Snoopy and Champ taught them all the good spots to sniff. 

            

                  Max loved to run and run and run while Molly just sniffed and sniffed and sniffed.

 

As for Brad and I well . . .  I am now back in TX today with the pups even though they really wanted stay in KS.  Brad is gearing up for deployment.  I must say I love technology and cell phones.

Yes, I get homesick too when I spend time with your family.  :)

Great pictures!  Do your dogs get along with your parents' dogs pretty well?  Or does it take some initial growling and sniffing first?

WOW, WOW, WOWIE! You are very lucky to live in Texas now so you can see those pretty views very often on your way to - from Kansas. Maybe I can convince Mommy and Daddy to go visiting your parents during a weekend. If I am good enough to my sisters and little Andrew, of course.

Also we are sooooo happy that you live at my Grandpa's house, he has lots of candies all the time!!!
