Insect Zoo and Spring!

Hey y'all!  We went to the K-State Insect Zoo today; it was pretty cool!  Below are pictures for your enjoyment.  =)

 Sorry, I didn't bother to rotate it.

 Haha; there, now you know if you're ever hungry you can just go eat a grasshopper. 

 Cool little blue bug!

 Igh; millipedes.

Wouldn't you just love encountering a centipede that big?

Okay, now some Spring pics!

 

 There ya are!  Have a lovely Spring! =D

Randomness

Howdy folks!  I am truly sorry that I don't have anything more interesting to post, but since I am back at college again I don't have access to all the pictures from home.  Thus, I scrounged up a few that I had from before Christmas break to share with y'all.  I know, I know, they are hardly what you would call interesting, but I felt obliged to post something at least! ;P

 Here is a "track" I made for our nephew to race his cars and tractors on =)  He had great fun racing the good ol' FORD tractor round and round.  Blue is better than green!

 This is a gingerbread house (barn) that the girls in our Bible study put together.

 Cookies that Patty and I made to take to our neighbors for Christmas.

 And lastly, just a random picture of bees.  These are my brother-in-law's bees.  He and his sister and brother-in-law raised bees for a couple years.

Okay, well, I reckon that is all for the day.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Poor, neglected blog...

Due to extenuating circumstances, this here blog has been sadly neglected for the past 3 months.  I do hope you have not minded incredibly much.  As is customary, I shall present y'all with pictures.  Of... scenery, mostly.  I know, I know, that's all that is ever posted on here.  If you want people pictures, you know where to look.  =P  

 Who ever said Kansas is flat??  I beg to differ.  What does this look like to you?  Flat?

 And who ever said Kansas has no trees?  What is that I see in the distance ...  monsters, maybe? 
Now, back to the earlier picture saying that Kansas wasn't flat; I shall insert a disclaimer.  Of course, there are indeed areas of Kansas that are flat, but that is perfectly marvelous!  Because, as you can see from this picture, flat is BEST for crops!

 Rainbow after rain!  Yet another picture to disprove a common thought: that Western Kansas is a desert.  My dear friends, does it rain enough to make grass green in a desert?  In fact, is there ever even GRASS in a desert?
There is such a thing as plains, ya know.  It doesn't have to be either forest or desert.  There is a happy medium, and this happy medium is the marvelous plains of Kansas!  By the way, is there a town in Kansas named "Desert, Kansas"?  No, there is not.  Is there a town in Kansas named "Plains, Kansas"?  Yes, there is.  So, the logical inference from that is as follows: the land area is to be described as plains, NOT desert.

 I like rainbows... A marvelous reminder of God's promises and His faithfulness to keep them!

 Hmmm... what a muddy pickup!  (Ahem... does a pickup get muddy in a desert?  I highly doubt it.)

 Ah... ever so much better.  "A clean pickup is a happy pickup"!

 Yum, food.  =P  Chicken, zwiebach, green beans, and mashed potatoes (hmm... quite yellow mashed 'taters!).

 Supper, again.  This time, enchiladas, green beans, and rice.  (I'm sure you could tell, but I am having fun typing.)

 Mmmm.... lots of cheese!

 Kansas sunset!

All righty, maybe those pictures will last you until Thanksgiving break or Christmas break.  =)

The grass is green!!!

Uh, I guess you can see this is a flower.  (Or several)

There, there's just one.

Ah, delightful green grass!

A slug/snail thingy I found in a corn field the other day.  I actually see a lot of them in some fields!

All righty, there are some pictures for ya!  I didn't take the time to auto fix them or anything, so I hope they don't look too bad! =P
