Another wonderful entry. Loved the photos. And this line, "In the morning, we moved around the cows." Says it all.

I think this is the best one yet. I appreciate the explanation about the Homestead Act. Many Americans are not aware of how millions of acres of land was confiscated from indigenous people, then re-distributed for free to white settlers in the 1800's. Very few, if any, non-white people were given any land to settle. The 40 acres and a mule promise to formerly enslaved had been long broken.Your and Cole's observations give me hope - we can certainly do better.
