I’m BAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!

We were lucky, the weather held until we got the hay in. Terry stacked it in a whole other spot so it won’t get mixed up in the really good hay.

Since we only had the irrigation to do and Terry needed a part for one of the tractors we took off for Rocky Ford, Colorado. (The home of the wonderful cantalope—–and great tractor and combine salvage yards).

Blue Mesa Dam was beautiful

This is where we get our irrigation water, so seeing if full is wonderful!

It was fuller than we’ve seen in a long, long time.

The shopping center was full of all sorts of goodies

So much to chose from

In the end the perfect part was there. And for a really nice price.

Home again.

Along the way I was given a gift also

Pretty Cool.

We got back to a couple of really big, fast moving rain storms. Everything is rich and green, including the weeds.

So I guess you know what I’ll be doing today. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments. I plan on getting around to everyone’s blog soon and hope to get all my comments answered today!

Weather a Mixed Bag of Blessings

It rained last night

My yard is beautiful and green, the dust is settled and the drying alfalfa is wet. Just one more day in the heat and then a day to bale and haul and it could rain.

70% chance for the rest of the day and night today, Tuesday with more storms for Wednesday.

I still love the rainbows the storms produce.

An Easter Rainbow

Posted on April 25, 2011 by Dayphoto

We had a really nice Easter, lots of good food, 140 eggs to find (in groups of 3) and yummy desserts.

It was cold and rainy. About 4 o’clock the clouds parted and let the sunshine through, with it came this delightful rainbow

The ends were miles and miles apart.

An Easter Rainbow…how Cool!

Our alfalfa has been cut for the second time of the year, once more I’m reminded that summer is half over. Third cutting of hay will occur at the same time as the pinto bean harvest.

We had a huge wind storm come up day before last, knocking down huge tree limbs and in general making a big mess. But after it all I saw….

A beautiful rainbow! Makes picking up branches so worthwhile.

The sunset was pretty amazing also.

My yard is looking good, however very weedy. Between work and farming and life getting to the weeds is sometimes difficult.

Still all in all good things are always there if you open your eyes to them. My daughter’s father-in-law wanted some limbs from the old lilac tree/bush. We were glad to give him some.

Then the other day he brought over to us this
