Although, the days are extremely hot (100-106*f–up to 41.11c)

The nights cool down, way down to 59*f or less (15c)

The sun hot and baking during the day

The cool nights

(plus watering)

keeps everything growing gently

The constant hot afternoon wind rustles the corn stalks, causing the developing ears to be pollinated

Everything enjoying

The move from the rays of the sun

to the cooling

Shadows

Of the shade.

Shade—

bringing a soft and welcome

break — bringing a

Softness to the air.

Hot summer days

Growing crops

Shade giving comfort to beasts and man alike

Rich, flourishing Summer

Making full and happy hearts

Good morning, My Friends!

From my world to your Hearts,

A Time of Magic—Monday, September 18, 2017

In the Glittering sunlight

High in the air

On a crisp, bright, warm September morning

The little Barn Swallows gathered in dense clusters in the sky, then

they filled the electric lines above the canal.

All early morning they came, swooping in, resting until they rose all as one, shimmering and glittering, into the autumn sky; dipping and rising in a choreographed dance taking them away from us.

Leaving the air around our yard empty of sound.

From my world to your heart.

With the Scent of a Summer Night, Comes the Dawn—-Thursday, July 14, 2016

Posted on July 14, 2016 by Dayphoto

I am working feverishly to get everything caught up. For you see, we have company coming. Terry’s Sister and brother-in-law will be here on Sunday, then Monday we get to have our youngest Granddaughter for THE WEEK! And I don’t want to be cleaning, weeding, or working hard during that time.

Our days are hot and over-powering in the overwhelming heat, causing sweat to run down my face as I weed, rake, fertilize, prune, trim and mow. My body slowing turning into the wind, earth and water as I melt.

Bees and wasps buzz heavily, with gnats and mosquitoes in clouds; creating easy fodder for the swallows nesting all along the edges of our house.

Our yard is dizzy with the scents of grass, sweet white lilies, and water sprinkling on the lawn.

My weeding of the pinto bean fields are done! I finished the two acre field last night. From this point on we turn our heads and choose not to see the weeds, which will flourish there anyway, coming from the wind and water.

The sun breaks forth over the line of trees quickly rising to heat the day; riding on the scents of last night.

As I worked I noticed a narrow crack of stunning light showing my everything— is worth it.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

A Gift of Sunlight—Wednesday, June 22, 2016

Posted on June 22, 2016 by Dayphoto

The day wore on, yesterday, the heated air hot and heavy.

bearing down on us and the land.

The sun gradually climbing higher and higher in the sky- taking from us any bit of shade.

By noon the shadows were gone, the heat ringed us in, and sat brooding, like a bad mood.

Then a blessing of a thin rush of air — first in starts and stops, then in little puffs, swelling in strength strong enough to cause the towels drying, on the line, to flap and fling themselves over the other wires full of clothes
