I am working feverishly to get everything caught up. For you see, we have company coming. Terry’s Sister and brother-in-law will be here on Sunday, then Monday we get to have our youngest Granddaughter for THE WEEK! And I don’t want to be cleaning, weeding, or working hard during that time.
Our days are hot and over-powering in the overwhelming heat, causing sweat to run down my face as I weed, rake, fertilize, prune, trim and mow. My body slowing turning into the wind, earth and water as I melt.
Bees and wasps buzz heavily, with gnats and mosquitoes in clouds; creating easy fodder for the swallows nesting all along the edges of our house.
Our yard is dizzy with the scents of grass, sweet white lilies, and water sprinkling on the lawn.
My weeding of the pinto bean fields are done! I finished the two acre field last night. From this point on we turn our heads and choose not to see the weeds, which will flourish there anyway, coming from the wind and water.
The sun breaks forth over the line of trees quickly rising to heat the day; riding on the scents of last night.
As I worked I noticed a narrow crack of stunning light showing my everything— is worth it.
From my world to your heart,
Linda

Busy, busy and so beautiful. Would love to see your pinto bean field.

For two seconds it’s free of weeds! YAY! The third second shows weeds growing faster than the speed of light!

The Rufus Hummingbirds are back. I saw them two weeks ago. It seems early for them, usually I start to see them in August.

It’s that ‘going to the farm thing’, which occurs in the summer. Good for them and us also!

You are definitely busy, but all your hard work makes everything look great. Just take the time to enjoy your company — especially your granddaughter!

Good idea getting the hard stuff done before the guests arrive. More time for fun. Working in the heat and humidity feels like working in slow motion underwater.
