Time to head out
Third cutting of Alfalfa
You can’t see it, but at least 1,000 hay bales are cut and drying out there.
(It’s the simple things that bring such joy, you know 🙂 )

Boy, was it ever hot for a spell. A long-long-long spell.
BUT THE RAINS CAME!
Good Rain!
Nothing to complain about rain!
Mom and Dad said: YAY!!!

(Mom forgot to get photos of us in the rain so she used these from a while back. It pretty much looks the same!)
The light is changing. Truly changing.
Summer is starting its migration to the other part of our globe. The nights are creeping longer and longer; the plants and the soil are beginning to sigh.
The animals are ramping up eating and gathering…
It’s all there, even if the heat is still going strong —
“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea. Drink the wild air.”–Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is a small window of time in August when you can feel the ending of Summer
A stillness —- a time of mellow quiet
I felt it last night. A promise of over-the-top heat ending and the mellow ripeness of Autumn coming.
A Turn is starting to occur. We may still have some heat, but not like before, for not as long.
Not for long.

Happy Trails to you! Go Out and Ride somewhere—car, truck, ORV, horse, mule–somewhere in something to take you away for a spell 🙂
My favorite heroes of all time!
Happy Trails My Friends,
Linda
Probably one of the hardest things to do—
But the only way to approach life!
Just say’n.

The day starts at first light—
I go with Mom and Dad and
Boo, although I don’t ride in the blue thing on that loud thing Mom drives.
Nope. Just the goofy dog rides.
Just say’n,
TLC
Although, I can’t seem to get a photo of those mean, but beautiful little birds
I know their arrival is a signal that Fall is approaching.
They will be with us for about three to maybe four weeks then move on. When they move on so will all the little hummers.
Summer is becoming late summer now.

Oh! My Gosh!!! A huge branch came crashing down
Blocking the road and the bridge —just making a huge mess
Gradually we got it all cleaned up; I kept some of the wood for winter heat
Some were too big to save so we hauled away to live in the weeds; providing homes for the critters out there.
Thankfully no hen, no kitty or human was standing under it when it fell!
