It’s been HOT again. August heat in early June 😦 With wind, wind, wind —40 M.P.H. wind.
Short water, very short, and the ground so dry the water can’t get it wet.
So we said —–
Why not!?
BIG SMILE HERE!

I AM SO EXCITED! We didn’t get any rain, but we did get a rainbow!!!

Just as the sun completely closed down for the day. And the first stars started winking in the east
A darling deer jumped out in the path before me—
Everything was drinched in shadows, even the deer.
Then home again, home again, in the swirl of the colored sky.
What a glorious evening this was!

The nights are starting to warm up a bit —
The stars fill the heavens with showers of calm
And the moon —- ah, the moon (from my archives) sending rippling light to grace our lives.
Each and every moment, I remind myself that the old gods are still here. They watch and wait and rejoice when we ‘see’ them. (The old gods of the land are ancient, natural, and beautiful. They represent the deep spiritual connection between humanity and the physical world—personified by mountains, forests, stones, and streams. AI on Wikipedia)
From my world to your heart,

Both fields are cut now—drying in the sun. And the air —- oh, the air! YUM!!

Sara and I have been friends for a long, long, blog time. Almost 20 years. (Click on the blue to visit her blog.)
Anyway, a couple of days ago she wrote: “So, years ago I found the sweetest little rock heart out on our field stone sidewalk. I’ve been saying hi to it every day for maybe five or six years and possibly longer. I don’t remember when I first saw it. It was about the size of a dime, and it was always nestled in a shallow hole in the big rock it chipped off from. I was always afraid I was going to lose it, but never picked it up because I thought it was selfish and it was probably happy out there with their rock friends and it enjoyed saying hello back to me as I came and went. Some days I’d think that maybe I should send it to you to share the joy and also I knew you’d take good care of it, but I waffled on whether or not it would want to leave and how much I would miss seeing it…and about two weeks ago the house power washed and washed the sidewalk and I’ve not been able to find it since :’-(. ”
Then I wrote back to her: “I, too, have left heart rocks to nestle among their friends. As you know, I have often walked by and said Hello. Then one day they would be gone.
I’ve been waiting for a warm, soft, spring day.
And a few finally arrived. The breeze was soft, gentle, kind,
Lovely. Perfect. Wisps of gratitude and blessings from all the fairies and the elves and the saints upon the land.

Our son-in-law is an avid sports fan — he loves hockey and baseball (for SURE)
While at the JUCO games in Grand Junction, Colorado, he sent me this rainbow —saying that it stayed with the game for a whole hour.
Gosh! What a gift! Not just for me (and you) but for anyone who looked up while watching the game!

Sent to me from back East. A perfect rainbow in an almost cloudless sky!
I am so lucky to have such generous and thoughtful friends!!!
Thank you ever so much,
From my world to your heart,
