On a hot and still afternoon, Boo and I drove over to check on the seeds I put out for all the wild creatures who live with us.
The earth was humming with insects, the deer fly miserable, and the stinging, biting horse flies were everywhere
But —- that was all worth it—yes, it was!
The world is full of beauty, everywhere. It truly is!
From my world to your heart,

This was taken last week. I stole it from her Instagram post.
Off to become a Financial Expert of some sort!
Way to go, Tally!

I was walking along at a rather fast clip when I suddenly stubbed my toe and fell to my knees.
Looking at what tripped me up — I was surprised. A Heart Rock!
It wanted me to see it so much it tripped me!
I picked it up. Gave it a bath in the ditch, and brought it home.
Home is where the heart is!
From my world to your HEART!

Linkin is so sweet. She sends me hearts. All the time. Hearts from my Granddaughter.
We have gifts from the earth. Gifts from family and friends. They are all so special, special, special.

These guys are FAST!!!
Thirty minutes, and they were loaded.
163 bales. Strapped down, paid for, and headed home. In less than an hour!
Stunning!

Epilogue
The Raccoons led us right back to the equipment area, then we all ran together to the haystack yard.
It was at the haystack yard that we all high-fived each other. Promised to meet again. Then went our different ways.
As we watched the raccoons leave us, some of them climbing up onto the haystack, others going behind the corral fence, Hobbie and I looked at each other.
“HOME!” we shouted. “WE ARE HOME!”
Just then we heard way, way over by the house: “HOBBIE! TLC!!! WHERE ARE YOU? MOM NEEDS HER KITTIES!”
Home!
We are HOME!!!
COMING MOM!!
COMING!!
(You know something—-June was a long month. Don’t ya think?” TLC)
While in town—
I saw a Sundog!!
A cool down is coming!
We are all so ready!!!

We are back to HEAT!!! And afternoon HOT winds.
It’s been an amazingly hot summer
I can’t even seem to get a good bird photo. 🙂
We are looking forward to the shrinking of the days and cooler weather.
I sure hope it’s a wet Autumn and a very cold, nasty, heavy snow winter!

We took a small ride—going over Dallas Divide to Norwood, then onto the Gateway.
The canyons along the way were dry. But the slight rains spiffed them up some.
It was peaceful and beautiful!

Everything is bright!
Growing sweetly. Evening the weeds!
No more tremendous stress
Just the joy of moisture! Refreshing cooler temperatures
with Bright (NOT HOT) sunshine and 54*, starts to the day.
WHEW! What a relief!
