God’s voice whispers to us constantly
In the rain
In a curtain of dusk.
Constantly.
We just need to listen!
From my world to your heart!

Hum
Too bad Mom can’t smell what I smell
We have a squirrel!
Maybe he…yes it is a he, is
Over here. He comes out of the wood pile
I’ll just wait here. Maybe I will get to see (chase) the squirrel
Well, that was boring. No squirrel. Although, I could smell him.
So disappointing.

Goodness, this month seems to be flying by.
Anyway, I wanted to show what those pesty deer do to the corn—
Yep! They eat the silks off and the tip of the corn. It’s so yummy for the deer’s tummy.
Ruins the corn…it won’t continue to develop. Sigh
And those delightfully cute, but so damaging raccoons and
Skunks—
They like to tear the stalks down and THEN eat the corn!
Critters. Gotta love ’em, but sure don’t like some of their dining habits.

A few friends met us for a two-hour drive to Marble, Colorado. (Yes we went again)
Go fast cars
Traveling through one of the last coal mines in our part of the world.
(Food from last Sunday—I forgot to get a photo this Sunday 🙂 )
Onto yummy food and friendship, and a
Visit to the Marble Museum.
A heart-happy time,

We made it! Third cutting of hay—-3,000 plus bales counting first and second and third cutting.
(This is just one stack)
After first cutting Terry and I were exhausted and unbearably tired. But we had no choice but to keep on keeping on.
We finally made it here.
Now to sell this and be done for the haying year 2023!

We are still irrigating the corn…
(early photo showing the ripening of the corn)
it is slowly starting to dent. See the little lines in the kernels, that is the dent.
Once completely dented, the shucks will dry out. (Earlier photo of the shucks being dry)
So, until the corn is all dented and the shucks show dry, we keep the water flowing.
Soon, though, soon. We will be done with the irrigation of the corn for the year.

Sunday was such a beautiful day…we thought “Let’s not work!”
So—-we loaded ourselves up and headed up to Marble—a two-hour trip from our house.
We headed to the most popular place in town to eat—-stood in line for a short time (about 15 minutes)
Sat down to a very tasty lunch of pulled pork and sides.
After which we drove around looking at things; making it home at 4:00 P.M., with huge smiles on our faces.
A lovely break in between the work!
