Mike Brummitt stops by his brother's cow pasture to fill up the water barrels for the 15 to 20 odd head of cattle that are there. Well, they were there when I pulled up but scattered when I got out of the car to make the photo. Guess they were a little camera shy.

Whenever people think about recreation, the first thing their mind does is wander to a lake, ball field, or possibly a bike trail.
However, recreation is more than just those previously named. As a matter of fact, recreational activities are often done for enjoyment, amusement, or pleasure and are considered to be “fun.”
So whether it’s playing a game, hitting the water, shopping with family and friends, or even farming activities, recreation can be a bevy of activities.
Star Photographer Larry N. Souders was out and about and captured some residents having fun in their recreational endeavors.
