These are beautiful flowers from Elaine, in the Black Forest, Colorado.  Thank you, Elaine.

The amazing, over-the-top heat has arrived, seeping into every aspect of every part of our lives

Bearing down into our souls, it’s so hot.

No matter the boiling temperatures…we still must step out onto the farm for our everyday work

The sunshine seems to shimmer across the land

And the shadows fall deep and cool under the brilliant stunning baking air.

Even though it is amazingly hot the land is still beautiful

And the lives who live with us on this terra firma keep us humble in a wonderful way.

By evening a hot, brusque wind sweeps down from the Uncompahgre Plateau, through the canyons; giving us a respite from the baking oven-like feeling the lack of moving air seems to provide.

No matter what…heat and bugs and all…I still like Summer best! 🙂

From my world to your heart,

Linda
