The Champlin Creek & the Canoe

Yes... for my birthday, Brad rummaged through his farmer's workshed and found the perfect gift! It's the original cattle-branding iron used by Henry, Irvin and Jay. It had a prominent place (out of place?) in my elegant home...

Brad shows Dayton the new 2800 walnut trees they planted on the 30 acre Kansas Ave. orchard... they're looking at the grafting he did and seeing if it took.
