We are dry here. Of course it rained and rained all through the third cutting hay 🙂 pretty much how haying season goes. 🙂
But the night air is very mild even cold before the sun comes up in the morning.
Still the plants grow gently larger and larger…waiting for that time called harvest
It won’t be long now until pinto bean harvest….the pods are starting to stripe and the leaves to turn yellow
Terry is watching the crops daily now…checking how hard the corn kernels are becoming, where the pods are on the pinto beans…we still work several times a day with the mountain water irrigating the crops,
The other day a summer storm blew in…not that kind that drops water on the ground, but the kind which drops water toward the earth, BUT dries up BEFORE it hits the ground
Leaving us a Rainbow, in the small silence the phantom raindrops made in the air.
My eyes and my heart reached up from the shadows on the ground — Rainbows always say to me—Good things are sure to come!
From my heart to your world,
Linda

Terry looks so much like my late father when he was that age. My dad was also a lineman and then a foreman with the electric company before he went into company management.

Linemen are rather a special breed, I think! We are kindred souls, Jan!

No-one is closer to nature than you two — and you make it seem beautiful as well as the challenge I know it often is.

Beautiful rainbow. We could use a bit of rain too. Not too much though. Now if they could pump that water up from Texas, we could all benefit.

Hello linda … harvest is always a great time – well in my veg garden that is! It rained and rained this morning such a deluge of water. I feel so guilty saying that given the state of Houston .. my heart goes out to those people
