The Pasture Gate

Here is the pasture gate that opens to an acre long pasture road on Little Utah Farm. ~ Deborah Moon Moen

When we first stepped foot onto what was to be Little Utah Farm, I noticed it had a long gate across what I imagined to be a pasture road. I was smitten with the romantic notion of a pasture road with a long gate that swung across so you could tie it to the garden fence to bring in the big bales of hay. Just the thought of actually driving along a road into the back of the property was wonderful to me.  When we moved in, the road was hard clay. When it rained, the clay got really soft and muddy. We sunk up to our ankles and hub caps. One of my first chores was pulling out a good 1,000 tumble weeds that grew all the way from the front to the back. 

Our corn field and tractor sign along our pasture road. ~ Deborah Moon Moen

Now as I walk down the pasture road I enjoy the golden light of morning shining on the corn field and this tractor sign. Paul and I first saw such a sign along a very rural Route 1002 on our way to Milford, UT. It was so simple yet the silhouetted picture on the sign told you everything you needed to know. Paul's tractor drives down this pasture road often. 


Improvements have been made. The road is now covered in gravel. Tall cottonwood trees line the road and in summer the garden is full of sunflowers and corn. There are hens in the coop, ducks in the pond, fresh eggs to gather, and llamas in the corral. I love how Little Utah Farm has grown into our dream farm.

The Country Kissing Booth

Country Kissing Booth was photographed in Cedar City, Utah. Cards and prints are available in Little Utah Farm Store on Zazzle. http://www.zazzle.com/country_kissing_booth_valentine_greeting_card-137019081649465770 

I was driving home from town and I noticed the horse and the cows together by the fence. I pulled over onto the shoulder and grabbed by camera. I watched them for some time and took photographs.  Elsie was first in line at the Kissing Booth ( see photo above) then Sadie mooo-ved in. Their friends patiently waited as the girls both slurped and sniffed and nudged the handsome steed.

Jasper Jr. 

Jasper Jr. ( above) Waits in the wings while his mother and aunts get there turn in the kissing booth. He moos anxiously,

"Hey, I'm hungry. Hurry it up!"  His voice went unheard by the happy crowd.

Handsome Runners Up

These handsome steeds (above) are runners up from the Kissing Contest. They munch and graze on their green grass supper while planning strategies for next year's event.

Later on that day...



Crepuscular rays at sunset. www.littleutahfarm.blogspot.com

The sun gave a shout of "Hurray" as she disappeared from the day. The moon and the sun and the sky and everyone was envolved in this glorious day!

La Luna, E Ka Mahina, The MOON

As the sun set, I watched from my garden towards the east and I see such a sight. The beautiful moon lifts over the mountains as day turned into night.

Moonlit Night

The moon, she shined her smile and loving light

 and the stars came out with a twinkle... zzzzzzzzz Good Night.
