The heat has abated…leaving the morning with a feel of Autumn [or is it Spring?] in the air
Terry has finished planting the last field on our place to alfalfa
The soil has that wonderful smell of thirsty ground getting wet for the first time this year
A clean smell, a smell, like a sigh of relief
Friday morning we saw tiny little sprouts along the furrows we had finished watering
A very good industrious sign of new growth
The last set of the day
Water shimmering and glittering across the land as the earth heads into darkness.
The glimmer of the sun on the water (although only visible if you look for it)
Priceless.
