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

Lovely hand-made pen and pencil set from the lilac bush!  A pretty cool gift, I must say.
