The grass was ready to cut. The heads all bloomed out and just started to turn into seeds
Perfect!
Now we wait for it to dry, then we bale, and off it goes to fill tummies!

While changing water I looked up into the sky and saw–
A whole rainbow without feet touching the earth anywhere!
A bridge! From God(s)–Hope is eternal!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
I was out taking photos when I saw a sunbeam/ray hitting the earth right before me
Yes, I was looking through my camera lens — but still…..
It was amazingly cool. Nothing I had ever seen before, and probably won’t ever be in the right position again!
From my world to your heart,

I ran to Mom so I could go with her to the field,
We were checking the water for the billionth time of the day (not complaining–cause I like to go)\
Suddenly Dad stopped and said—“Look!”
Snake!
“What a pretty snake,” Mom said.
Dad and I agreed! The off we went–
Golden Hour on the just planted alfalfa field!

Boo Berry Betty and MOM!
Boo Berry and I were zipping along —following behind Terry — off to check and change the water (again)
When I saw these two little siblings trying to catch up with their Momma
They were so cute (and so terrified of me) that I just had to stop and take a photo of them.
Just darling!!!
After our quick photo shoot, we drove around them — as they watched us closely. The second they felt safe enough they scurried after Mom who must have been in the hay field waiting.
What a joyful gift they were to me!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Ya just gotta go for a ride
Yep— it is the simple things that give someone the gift of extraordinary.

There is lots and lots of stuff going on
Our second hayfield is getting cut, even while Mom writes this letter to you.
We have hay in the haystack yard
And hay customers arriving to take away the hay
I bark the hay pick-ups and trailers into the yard and out of the yard
Then I go sit under our trailer and watch all the goings on
Add to all of that there is the changing of the water
Which causes several trips out to the farm
Then Mom has to do her own yard and housework. I Help Mom whatever she is doing.
Yep!
It’s a busy, busy time of the year!

(Tell me about it!! TLC)
LADYBUGS! Keeping the alfalfa free of pests!
Once the stems dry down the Lady Bugs fly away. They come back after the plant gets a few leaves back on it.
Ain’t Nature Grand!

Time to cut hay! it is starting to bloom! When the hay just starts to bloom the protein content is the highest.
Our world smells like just mown hay.
Delicious!

Such a huge delight! For the earth, the plants, and ME!!
