myFarming on Facebook

Just after Christmas I got hooked on myFarm on Facebook. I decided to shift my morning habit of reading Drudge and political emails to playing with myFarm (it’s much easier on my blood pressure!). I can also play on it in the evening when I’m too tired to do computer work, but don’t really need to give full attending to the TV set.

Anyway, here’s photos of my three farms as they are today—

Here’s Server A where I currently have $462,400, Crops: 475, Plants: 1220, and Animals: 45

I built this farm up totally on my own without gifts from others or from either of the other farms. It’s also a maze. Click the photo above to see the larger photo, then follow the grassy areas from the left of the image to the right.

Here’s Server B where I currently have $1,114,731, Crops: 501, Plants: 1700, and Animals: 114

This was my second farm, and I set it up as a more complicated maze. Click the photo above to see the larger photo, then follow the grassy areas from the left of the image to the right. I used money from my first farm to buy trees and other items for this maze farm. This was also my first farm to break the Million Dollar mark!

Here’s Server D where I currently have $834,939, Crops: 397, Plants: 794, and Animals: 82

This was my first farm and I’ve used it as a money-maker to build my Server B maze. It’s more simple and easier to plant and harvest crops than the maze farms.

A Walk in the Snow and Ice

I am so behind on posting my photos! I took these January 28 and am just getting them posted now. It was a lovely day for a photo-walk with the sun in and out of the clouds and some lovely ice and snow to photograph.

Stop at Ha Ha Tonka

On our way back from speaking on stockmanship at the University of Missouri, we stopped at Ha Ha Tonka, a state park just south of Camdenton.

Click here for my photos. The sun came in and out of the clouds, so they weren’t the best photos, but I hope to be able to come back and take better ones someday.

Following are some other web pages with information about the castle and the family who built it.

Super Bowl

Well, Richard and I enjoyed the Super Bowl, even though our team lost. We cheered and cheered and thought we had it won, but we didn’t have the gate latched!

At least the commercials were good. Click here to see them all (if you missed any because you just HAD to go to the bathroom!) and vote for your favorite. I haven’t decided on my favorite just yet.
