“The righteous who walks in his integrity— blessed are his children after him!”
Proverbs 20:7
Pam’s dad is affectionately known as Pawpaw to his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren alike. And the name has even spread to neighbors and friends! When the grands name you that’s just the way it is! Everyone loves this man!
These guys still like their John Deere tractors and might be seen on one in this same hay field today, almost 30 years later. The tractors are bigger and so are the operators!
A winter tradition, a photo moment in camo!
We think Montana’s Bitterroot Valley may be calling us again! Great day in the saddle.
A couple of other “little farmers”, along with daddy, seem to enjoy a nice view from a good vantage point.
The ornamental grasses are doing well this season. We did have one to die last year and had to replace it this Spring!
The zinnias are finally starting their summer show. Based on advice from an experienced gardener, Pam did some pruning yesterday that is supposed to trigger a greater volume of blooms. We shall see!
Daddy’s girls may not understand fully the extreme importance and the true blessing of having a loving dad just yet, but in time they will!
A close look indicates the agapanthus is attractive to a variety of insects.
We are hopeful that the soon to come sunflower blooms will be as healthy and showy as their foliage!
Milkweed patiently awaiting visits by passing Monarchs!
Wishing all of you a Happy Father’s day and a great start to the first week of summer!

Happy Fathers Day Butch!
Thanks so much Alice!
We are to “bloom where we are planted”, the saying goes. But your lovely pictures confirm my long-held wish that I could have grown up on and raised our two sons on a farm. Thank you for the vicarious joy you share with each post. Blessings to you and your family on Father’s Day!
Thank you Carla. Blessings to you!
Happy Father’s Day to Butch and to your Dad, Pam. This is a lovely point. And you are right about the girls in time. They’ll know.
Thanks so much Jeanie!
What amazing love we can feel in this family. As a matter of fact, I feel like I am a part of it. The farm photos are beyond beautiful. You have captured beautiful relationships and the importance of men of strong faith. The girls and their Dad is so precious. Having grown up on a farm, I can attest to the added value it brings to a life. The older I get the more I long to get back to the farm life. I am getting to do some of that through Everyday Living. Pam, Papa looks wonderful..such a special photo of you two. I want to plant some milkweed so I can contribute to the monarch population. Such a beautiful post. God bless each and everyone and Butch take that trip with your son. Oh, yes, lest I forget…thank you for the “she shed” that we are going to enjoy.
Dianne, your comments are so sweet. Wishing your hubby a Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day, Butch! Happy Father’s Day to your Dad, Pam!
Children are a heritage from the Lord and so are good fathers.
Enjoy your day with family.

This is beautiful 💚
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome Pam!
Happy Father’s Day Butch! Happy Father’s Day Pawpaw! And Happy Father’s Day to Seth!
What a beautiful array of family photos along with the gorgeous flowers! I am going to have to love your zinnias with you this summer. We arrived to the LakeHouse too late this year to plant any. And I think it’s true about pruning zinnias… just like chrysanthemums.
Once again I am a bit late… but so glad I didn’t miss a thing.
Happy Week to you and yours!
Thank you Nancy. You are never late, life is busy for all of us. Have a delightful week!
Hello Pam, happy fathers day, with a little delay, but as we say here in Spain “All parties have an eighth”.
I love to see your father so well among her grandchildren. By the way, her granddaughters are beautiful, the photo is perfect, I have copied it to my computer because I love it …
It is also very beautiful to see father and son in their youth and child and already adult versions … it is very beautiful.
It is true that the family is the best we have and sometimes we do not realize that treasure that is the family.
Congratulations to the parents and a big hug to everyone.
I hope Butch and your son had a wonderful Father’s Day! I loved seeing all the pictures and that sunset is just amazing! God is so good to us all and is so worthy of our praise!
Thanks so much Cheryl! Yes, God is so good!
What lovely photos! I especially loved seeing the precious family ones.
Thank you Donna!
