It rained during the night, leaving the earth moist and damp with a faint chill of autumn in the air.
Fall is just an illusion, for tomorrow the heat of summer returns, gradually bringing with it triple digit weather—perfect for cutting the alfalfa to make into hay.
But today …. today Terry is cultivating the pinto beans and I am getting closer to finishing painting. (I have the top of the house done and part of the north side. All that is left is the large area of east side and a section of the front/north porch.)
A very ordinary day! But the sheer ordinariness is comforting in and of itself.

You are so right about ordinariness. We need to be thankful also for that!

Do you remember your camera settings on that shot?

I had to take a closer look, the first photo appeared to be the tide coming in–a wall of waves! Glad you didn’t get that much rain! I agree, ordinary is good!

so lovely (words and pictures). We used to go to a produce stand where the owner “Grandma Johnson ” had a big sign behind her counter that said “Thank God for Ordinary Days”. I have always loved that and will never forget it. You never know where you will learn a life lesson!
