looking south off my deck



my red heeler ( Little Punk ) trying to get me to play ball with him

See that groundhog way down there at the edge of that last cornfield? He's laughing at you.
Good luck, that's a pretty good ways down there.

I think ole Punk needs to switch from tennis to football. That's a big heeler :mrgreen:

Beautiful country you live in there. Thanks for the pic.

 

[WendyZXZ]

Now that dog is just too fun looking!

 

[gunman42782]

Nice looking land, and the dog aint half bad either!

 

[Sturgis270]

Betting that dog would keep chasing the ball longer than you would want to keep throwing it!

 

[Mike Armstrong]

Great shots, especially the pup! Where are you in WI? That background ridge looks a LOT like an area I used to hunt SW of Madison back in the early 1970s....

Just as I remember it. Corn and alfalfa every where!!! That's why Wisconsin deer are FAT!!!

I used to do most of my deer hunting in Jackson County, south of Black River Falls. 8)

There's a country song, something about not being able to live, where corn don't grow. Across the river behind me is a good bottomland field. Its alternated from corn to soy beans yearly. Common method here. The dog is giving you the Zen treatment. Pick up the ball, you know you want to pick up the ball. stevemb

In my mind I do remember a yellow house. Trying to remember if it was a pale yellow or a brighter yellow. Looking at your picture again... the line of hills in the distance is starting to look familiar. I always liked that country around there. Moreso than where I lived at the time.... Madison and Stoughton. I worked for St of Wis. Department of Health and Social Services in Madison. Madison was (and likely still is) a hotbed of socialism. I preferred being around country folks instead of liberal city folks.
