Wordless Wednesday: Winter Sunset on the Farm

If you've been following the blog for a little bit, you know I love capturing the beautiful Kansas sunsets that happen on our farm.  This gorgeous sunset took place on the night of December 28th. There was still a little bit of snow on the ground and the pictures I came away with on this night left me speechless.  Theses shots were taken with my camera phone and they haven't been edited other than adding the blog website.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Born to Pharm Video

I am through the roof excited to share this video with you today!!

I've been wanting to create a video that explains what Born to Pharm is and also highlight what Adam and I are trying to accomplish with our blog. The video project finally got crossed off my to-do list this summer!

Adam's cousins, Austin and Carey Bickford, came out to the farm one evening in June and we did some filming around the farm and they stayed and had dinner with us as well. It was a perfect night to enjoy the weather, the sunset, and just being out in the country!

Austin and his brother own a media production company, BicMedia, he was able to bring the professional cameras out, set them up, and got so many cool shots of the farm!  Austin and his brother were able to take several hours of footage and edit it down to just a few minutes. In this short amount of time they were able to tell our story and showcase what we are trying to accomplish with our blog. We are so happy with the final product and we hope you enjoy watching it!

A HUGE thank you goes out to Austin and Carey for taking the time to come out to the farm and put this awesome video together!  We appreciate all of your hard work on this project and we couldn't be happier with it!!

You can find BicMedia on Facebook, Vimeo, or visit their website to learn more about their company or to see more of their videos.

Wordless Wednesday: Summer Sunsets

The summer sunsets have been absolutely gorgeous on the farm the past few weeks.

"K-State Sunset"
One of my favorites from the past few weeks.

"Wagon Wheel"

"The calm after the storm"

"Shimmering Wheat"
Sunset on a wheat field near the Missouri River, another favorite.

Sunset at Kauffman Stadium from Friday night. 

Our Evening in Pictures

Today was a beautiful day, a little windy, but overall a beautiful day!

Adam and I were able to feed hay to the calves, then he filled the silage wagon while I went and took pictures of the baby calves, then we came back home and fed the calves at our house.  I'll let you take a look at the pictures from our evening on the farm.

I love cows!

All the calves came up to see me!

Probably one of my favorite photos from the night.
Not because it's a selfie, but because my attempt at being
creative and artistic somewhat succeeded.  I titled this one
"Reflections from the Farm"

I was hanging out with the calves until
Adam got home so we could feed hay. 

Adam working on filling the silage wagon.

Jack, the farm cat, is on the lookout for any
mice that may be in here. 

The conveyor loading the silage into the wagon. 

The new born calves with their mommas. 

"Mom! Come on! Not in front of the camera!"

Baby calves are one of cutest animals on the planet. 

He's my favorite! 

"Mom! Quit moving so I can get some milk!"

These girls are in the maternity ward of the cattle pens.
They're getting really close to having their calves so they're kept in
this pen. This wayAdam and his dad can keep a closer eye on them. 

Feeding the calves.

The steers (castrated male cows) are getting so big!
They are probably weighing around 800-900 pounds. 

Some scenery shots from tonight. 

Kansas Sunset

The sunset tonight made it look like the trees were on fire. 

We hope you had a great Friday too! Enjoy the weekend and take some time to relax and enjoy the beauty that nature has to offer!
