A Walk About With Me—- Wednesday, July 31, 2024

Please come with me for a last look at the farm in July

Here is Chip —enjoying a wee treat in the early morning sunshine

The shadows seem to stay the same always, Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter (which is perfect for me)

No matter the time of year the Golden Hour is so very special

The Hollyhocks are perfectly wonderful

Irrigation goes on 24 seven with us working it every four hours, except during the night

And always, always, always I love seeing the sun rising up over the land or setting upon the land

Everything seems to be going well—I don’t think we could ask for more.

If I Had to Pick One Thing that Makes Me Happy — Monday, July 29, 2024

Swallows!  I love these little birds!

About as much as I love seeing Rainbows in the sky!

Or the sunsetting behind the corn

Or those cute little squirrels (one lost his tail to TLC—-Sigh)

Or just walking along to set water and THERE is a heart gift from the earth.

Gosh, there are so many gentle and sweet things out there—it’s hard to pick just one.

When Smoke Gets in Your Eyes —- Sunday, July 28, 2024

Gosh, these horrible wildfires are just terrible!  All of the northwest and Canada seem to be burning.  My heart goes out to each and every person, animal, bug, and plant!

This is our sun, about 7:00 in the evening, on July 24th.

I can’t imagine what it’s like where the fires are. 😦

Sigh

At the Car Show —- Thursday, July 25, 2024

We entered the Corvette in the car show last Saturday.  But the funniest part of the day was the Valve Cover Races.

(You have to make a little car out of a valve cover —like a pine box derby car )

NEVER GROW OLD, My Friends!  NEVER!

So —- Tuesday, July 23, 2024

So, into the twilight

Where everything is big and large and full of the day’s last light.

Yes….Terry and I truly do find joy, in being out on the land.

Baby, Baby, —Sunday, July 21, 2024

It’s happening!

The corn is starting to tassel

And the baby ears are forming!

So!  SOOO! Very exciting!

“Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the treehouse; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape; but most of all….summer was Dill.”  Harper Lee
