Quick! Before it Fades! —- Tuesday, July 15, 2014

For some reason, just around this time of the day, I can get internet.  It doesn’t last long but I can at least get on and post a new blog…and visit some of you.  Then it is gone for the rest of the day. Stress, stress, stress.

Fire-Set-1There was a fire somewhere around Rattle Snake Gulch the other night.  I always wonder what starts something like that.  Always sad to see a fire somewhere.

Mountain-FreshThis is a very blurry photo of a sweet corn field ….it won’t be long now…soon you will see either Mountain Fresh Sweet Corn or Olathe Sweet Sweet corn in your Kroger/Safeway/Wal-Mart grocery stores.  They are advertising for pickers now.

Hay-at-night

 

Terry got part of the alfalfa field cut, but he still has at least three more hours to go.  They are forecasting rain and thunder here this afternoon so he won’t be cutting today.  Maybe tomorrow.  Please continue with your crossed fingers.  We would like to cut, dried and baled by a week from now!!!

For-the-birdsThe days are hot here and the humidity high. Drives Terry to distraction, since he much prefers Fall, Winter, and Spring.  But I’m loving it.

Hay-Stack-MountainThe sun parted the clouds yesterday afternoon highlighting Hay Stack Mountain.  Hay Stack Mountain is at the beginning of the Roubidoux Canyon, which is all part of the Uncompahgre Plateau and just below our mesa.  You can See the brush descending down toward the flat lands when then drops right off into the canyon in this photo also.

Golden Must hurry off here now…I think my time is just about up!  Hoping everything is going well with all of you!

Your friend on a farm in Western Colorado,

Rain, Rain and More Rain

We have a storm coming in AGAIN!  I guess it is winter, oops late fall, but ….I really was enjoying the sun.  The storm is supposed to hit here this evening with blowing rain and snow.

This is the storm getting closer and closer to us.  You can see Hay Stack Mountain in the clouds.  Once the storm leaves the canyons, it will head our way….

Then to top all of that out, the neighbor’s spring’n heifers (20 in number) broke through the fence, we had to round them up and take them home.

But on a happier note, the cow that was down at Misty’s is experiencing ‘herd action’ again.  The baby thinks this is a big world and having a ball.
