I'm Alive!

Hey all, greetings and hallucinations!  Jake of the Sadaar here, zeroing in from the green state of Kansas!  The wheat fields here are looking fantastic!  Being transfixed with patriotic zeal for my glorious state, I stole my dad's iPhone and took a couple pictures.


A wee bit of a glare in this one. ^_^


Ah, yes, a field of green!



^^ That one's my favorite.  :)  Some of them were so long you could barely make out the trees on the far end (which always marks the end of a field, sorta like a divider). O_o

The weekend has been eventful.  The following bullet list briefly summarizes the past few days:
  • A vandal
  • A run-in with a skunk
  • A visit to the Hesston MB church
  • Various fields of wheat as well as a batch of puppies
  • A clear sky
  • A cloudy sky
  • Cool weather
  • Warm weather
  • An egg-hunt
  • Copious amounts of mashed potatoes, burgers, and ham. :D
  • Allegebra Mathe
  • Procrastination
  • Several surprising events...
  • ....and another holiday in which we come back home with a puppy.
Yesyes, 'tis true!  The Sadaar Clan has come home with a brand new puppy by name of Beatrice.  She's a cross between a Border collie and a Great Pyrenees, I believe, which means she'll get massive.  Right now, she's lying like a good, sleepy puppy beneath a foot rest.  She looks like the Abominable Snowdog. O_o  See the pictures below! (Click for bigger size.)






^_^ Sleepy dog!

She's slowly getting used to us.  :)  She likes to nap under the foot rest, and chases people when she's outside.  To give some comparison, she's about the size of a large cat.  Playful, when she's not sleeping (though I suspect she's just sleeping off the effects of going away from her pen with all her siblings).

Well, that's about it for now.  Au revoir!

Aww! I loooove Beatrice! She's so adorably cute and fluffy and...doggy :D

Your Easter weekend sounds like its been lots of fun! Excellent pictures of Kansas, those green fields are beautiful :D They do similar things with trees for dividers in Alberta and Manitoba, since it's so flat and the wind can get really powerful (thus blowing so hard it ruins the fields).

Oh my word, we just got a puppy too! He's a border collie and his face looks similar to your puppy's face (complete with the black speckles on his white streak, though they are on the opposite side of his face). The rest of his body is black though, except for his white color, white boots, and the white tip of his tail. His name is Champ. We just got him last Sunday (Easter! yay! :D) He's quite the little squirt, but we love him dearly.

In Illinois the dividers between fields are either trees or fences... but even if the divider is a fence, it's likely you'll see trees there too. So probably more like trees AND fences. :D Sweet pictures. I should do something like this sometime. Thanks for posting. :D ;)

@Eldra
See above. ^^

@Squeaks
Aye, right? Now that she's slept a bit, she's getting ornery. O_o

Kansas is amazing. *nodnod* We're pretty windy over here as well. I don't know if that's why the trees are there or what. :)

@Elisa
Indeed! Such dogs are much fun. :) I was chased around the yard today by Bea, several times. And right now she thinks my foot is her chew toy. O_o There are downsides to it. ;)

@Star-Dreamer
'Tis impossible NOT to love puppies. :| Even if they chew on your feet. And whine at night. (*cough* Screech.) And use the kennel as their outhouse. And roll in the dirt. But we love them nonetheless.

Kansas is always worth blogging about. :) I've been to Illinois several times--I used to live in Muscatine, Iowa, which is just across the Mississippi from Illinois.
