Christmas on the Creek

12/06/14

Have you ever heard of Christmas on the Creek?

I love small towns and the parades they have. I’ve seen cars, trucks and tractors pulling floats for homecoming, celebrating the nation’s birthday or honoring our veterans.

Especially when I am enjoying 60 degree… Read More

I is for Irrigation — Water Use & Conservation on the Farm
