This morning started out with Clint killing another rattlesnake.  He went into the garage and found one curled up trying to stay warm.  Ugh.  I saw a very small snake in the backyard later this morning and I couldn't tell what kind it was because it was so small so I went ahead and killed it (by chopping it's head off with a hoe).  Clint said it was garden snake.  I have barely seen any snakes this summer and now all at once we are seeing way too many for my liking.

We all went south to move our Oklahoma cows to a new pasture.  They were tired of being in the pasture they were in and had eaten down the grass, so they were easy to move because they wanted to follow the pickup.  Jaide and I went behind them in the Ranger and the 4 big kids were on the Gators.  I do not necessarily like getting up early in the morning, but I usually always feel good when I do and I love getting pictures of the kids at this time of day.

Milo harvest started today, so after we got the cows moved, Clint went to haul milo.  I wanted to do something special with the kids this evening and take them on a date.  We went to town and had supper at Don's they went and played at the playground.  This may seem like an every day occurrence for a lot of people, but we don't normally drive to town just to eat out.  I guess you could call us frugal.  Anyway, I called and ordered our food before we left home so it was ready when we got there.  All 5 of the kids sat and ate their food and were very well behaved, if I do say so myself.  I was very proud of them.  We went and played at the playground for about an hour.  Clint was done hauling for the day and left his truck at Kirk's and he rode home with us, so it worked out well.

Jaide was so happy to be walking around and playing with the other kids
