Yep! Second Cutting
Of the third field.
Sometimes in September, we will start all over for the third time, then the haying season will be done.

The full moon of hot summer nights
Breaking free of a gap in the clouds—
The world is made of silver!

What a wonderful, beautiful world (we have) the internet connecting us to friends far and wide.
Sending you this gorgeous rainbow that came to our house after a thunderstorm yesterday.
Enjoy!
Lots of love,
Genevieve and Cupcake 
Oh! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, ever so much!

I get this “Scatter” thing, Boo Berry Betty. I always scatter when there is a HUGE BIG MOTOR somewhere close.
I mean like RUUUUUUUUUUUUN! Is the word.
And RUN to the house is the answer.
Hiding in the house is the only way to go.
BUT—
Sometimes in the house—
MOM does the unthinkable!!!
SHE VACUUMS!!!
When that happens you and I have to
SCATTER!!!

We are finishing up the the second cutting of the second field
One more field to cut, bale, stack, sell—
(We get three cutting per field a year)
In the middle of the haying now.

Always grateful.
For sunlight gives to us the beauty of our land
In such a way
Not only our hearts can feel the gift
The sunlight becomes tactile filling our souls and our consciousness.
From my Heart to your Heart,
Linda

Not so long ago–we were enjoying days that lasted long, long, long
And now our days are shortening—
heading us closer to that time of little daylight
But for, right now, in August—we are experiencing heat! Oh, how I love Summer,
But, for the first time EVER!
The heat is doing me in.
Sigh!

One more field to cut—then we bale and stack. The second cutting is getting closer to finish.

We loaded up the 730
And headed up the Montrose Fair Grounds
Where Terry pulled 70% of his tractors’ weight.
It was a very fun evening!
Carpe Diem—grab the opportunity while it is here!
