The Pioneer Sod House and Homestead..South Dakota

Have a “Quality Time” visit.

Welcome to the homestead…Just give me a minute or two….

Well don’t just stand there…come on inside.

The Prairie Homestead, an original sod home of Mr. & Mrs. Ed Brown, was built in 1909. It is typical of the homes and outbuildings that pioneers built.

“There was no time to lose, no time to waste in rest or play. The life of the earth comes up with a rush in the springtime.”

There’s no great loss without some small gain.”

“Good weather never lasts forever on this earth.” Get those clothes dry while you can.

“All around them there was nothing but grassy prairie spreading to the edge of the sky.”

“One morning the whole world was delicately silvered. Every blade of grass was silvery and the path had a thin sheen…. When the sun came up, the whole prairie sparkled. Millions of tiny, tiny sparks of color blazed on the grasses.”

“What must be done is best done cheerfully.”

Each settler needed a garden in order to live. Now really think about that for a minute. The garden was where you found eighty percent of your food, of course, but it also provided medicine, fragrances, dyes, and aromatic herbs for the home, laundry.

 

“A farmer depends on himself, and the land and the weather. If you’re a farmer, you raise what you eat, you raise what you wear, and you keep warm with wood out of your own timber. You work hard, but you work as you please, and no man can tell you to go or come…. “

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed your visit to the Prairie Homestead.

The quotes are from:: Laura Ingalls Wilder and Little House on the Prairie.

Wednesday Golf Jokes…

Don’t Pee In My Flowers or else…..

A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her. One of the bags was ripped and every once in a while a $20 fell out onto the sidewalk.

Noticing this, a policeman stopped her, and said, "Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of that bag." "Oh, really? Darn it!" said the little old lady. "I'd better go back and see if I can find them.

 Thanks for telling me, officer. "Well, now, not so fast," said the cop. Where did you get all that money? You didn't steal it, did you?"

"Oh, no, no", said the old lady. "You see, my back yard is right next to a Golf course. A lot of Golfers come and pee through a knot hole in my fence, right into my flower garden.

It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers, you know Then I thought, why not make the best of it?" "So, now, I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real quiet, with my hedge clippers.

Every time some guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab hold of it and say, O.K., buddy! Give me $20, or off it comes."

"Well, that seems only fair," said the cop, laughing. "OK. Good luck!"

"Oh, by the way, what's in the other bag?"

“Not everybody pays."………………..

Have a “Quality Time Day.”
