It flew away so fast I couldn’t get a good photo.
Thank you! I think it is very pretty!

It has been busy, busy, busy around here
Busy enough I have to hide–
-because there is a tractor and a big truck involved
In and out of the yard
Trip after trip after trip
Three days worth
It was exhausting just trying to hide in the house from the big truck
And hiding from all the loud noise and big tires—exhausting!

Finally, Dad announced at lunch-LAST LOAD for the year, coming up
Mom said: “That was as hard as finally getting all the woodcut and moved.”
Done! Dad announced at the end of the third day! DONE!
Whew!
TLC and
Boo Berry YAY! DONE!
I saw this fox at the Upper End the other day. It looks rather ill, I think. See that knot by its eye? Who knows what it is—tick, cheatgrass seed, tumor?
There looks like something wrong by the shoulder too. Maybe how it’s standing, but something just isn’t right with this poor creature.
I’ll never know.
It quickly turned and ran the moment it saw me.

Summertime and the liv’n is easy (Terry would disagree)
The birds are singing and the corn is past the knee
The farm is thriv’n, and blue is the sky
Hush, little baby, please don’t cry
Each morning you rise up singing
You spread your wings and you fly
The earth is calm, nothing can hurt you
Hush little baby, time is flying by
Summertime and the liv’n is easy
Summertime and the crops are looking fine
Oh! Yes! It’s summertime —sweet baby–my doll
Hush little baby—for time is flying by!
From my world to your heart,
Linda

Corn! I love the sunlight on the corn!
I even love the sunlight Under the corn. The Corn is covered in shade from the trees, but still
Yep, we are hot! We do as much as we can in the morning…stop at noon, and begin again later on.
Hot! But—no matter what! IT IS SUMMER AND I LOVE IT!!!

HOT!!! Is the Word!
Mom says it’s hot enough she is concerned Dad, I, and TLC might melt
Although, she also says we are lucky-
We have lots of shade and it DOES cool down in the night!

Mom also says she will take Summer anytime of the year!
Dad and I
And Boo Berry—Think there are other nicer times like Spring and Fall.
Just say’n.
