This is what we are doing today....

The cows broke into the fall pasture, so the cowboys left before daylight this morning to try and beat the heat. The cows were obstinate, so the job lasted til lunch time. I knew they would be getting dry, so took some water and pop to an area that I could reach easily by road. I could keep track of where they were by the plume of dust going up into the air.

Don't you just love those clouds! We loved the fact that they passed us by today and let us get a long day of baling hay...we had supper in the field, and they kept on baling. There is a sandhill crane in the center of the picture. She has a baby on the left and the right, they were running away from me and my camera. You might click on the picture and enlarge it.

I love seeing the landscape and sky pics. With Dan being out on the road for clinical rotations, I long to see anything that is familiar to our home. The big white cotton candy clouds in the never ending blue sky is one of the things I miss seeing the most. I can almost hear the Sandhill crane singing/sqawking in the picture with her little one. Thanks for sharing!

An old poem from days gone by...I don't recall the title-

Making hay whilst the sun shines...
Come fall, harvest chokecherries for the wine...

Come winter,enjoy the blazing fire
That leads to Springs "awakening desire"

Then the cycle starts over again...
And darn, I can't remember the rest of it!
