Confession:

I didn't use any of the new lenses!! It was raining and I didn't want to risk changing them out. Here is what I did get of the girl's that will be staying with us for a while to fatten up....

Woohoo!

THIS JUST IN:

The Farmer just swung by the house and said that they are getting some cattle in from Montana in about an hour.....can you say photo-opp!!!

I used to live in Montana and worked for the Montana Stockgrowers Association, so it's fun when they get cattle out of MT! In fact the Farmer and I met while he was out in MT looking at cattle :)

I'm soo excited (doesn't take much)!! Ok...gotta go practice with the lenses before they arrive!!

:)

Revais Creek Ranch- Dixon, MT - Loved this Place!! :)

They're Here!!

In honor of my THREE photography classes, I decided to get some cool new converter lenses! and they just came in! I'm very overwhelmed but will hopefully have some photography to show you later after I figure out how to use them!!

I Ordered: .45x NIK 52mm .45x Wide Angle Lens, 10X NIK 10x HD² Macro Lens, and a 35x NIK - 67-52mm .35x Fisheye HD² Lens. I have no clue what any of that means but hope they will be a good addition!! I'm gonna head out to the feedlot and take pictures this afternoon..ohh and get some shots of the 12 foot tall corn!

Stay tuned ;)

Cookies or Crumbles?

Tonight, after dinner (we had this super yummy Southwestern Potato Salad and grilled cheesy hotdogs!) I decided to bake cookies!! (click on picture for recipe!)

Peanut Butter cookies were all I had the ingredients for, so I got started! I also was able to use some of the fun stuff I got from my Pampered Chef Shower!

Love this scoop!

all the cookies scooped out! Looks like a good start....


baking away...hmm not changing shape?

Pickles!!! This is not what they are supposed to look like!

I still wanted to try out my new cooling racks!

The few that made it...well sort of!

I have made these before, usually they last about 2 seconds and they are gone! Just checked the kitchen...they are still sitting right where I left the crumbly mess! I guess you DO need fresh brown sugar when making these cookies...as I was mixing it in this batch, I asked the Farmer how old it was...he casually said he had bought it before he even moved in this house...over 2 years ago and it wasn't sealed well!! The fact that I had to bang it apart to measure it should have given me a clue!! Oh well there's always next time :)
