First Day Of Summer

Summer has hit full force, hot winds and all.  Here are some bits and pieces of what we've been doing.

 Picking puncture weeds out of our feet.

 Hauling hay.  95 bales.  All for sale.

 Blue skies and dry fields.  Boyd has been watering and the ground is soaking it up and taking forever to cover the fields.  I suppose that if you are thirsty, you just drink deep and it takes more time.  I even got to help him change the water last night.  Happened to see two skunks, but we were in the truck which is better than finding them in the field.

 A sunset or two.

 iPhone app shot.

 I've been on a bike ride or two. 

 Sun in full force.   The safflower could use some rain.

 Pictures from a bike ride with the Adam's family.

 Last year we were flooded and this year we are bone dry.  Check out my posts from last May and June to compare the difference.  Last year we had water almost up to the back of the house.

 Some pelicans came by.

 Didn't seem to mind sharing the river with us.  Jasmin didn't want to see them go.

 And the best summer news of all...  another ripe tomato!  It was delicious!
