Make hay while the sun shines

 

Stacked like golden coins,
summer’s promise, winter’s hope,
waiting to be spent.

Red at Night

Fires in the forest
paint strokes of scarlet slashing
across the Mesa

Irrigating the Mesa

 

 

Truly, our life’s blood
water, from stream to pivot,
brings life in winter.

Rainbow over windrows

The gold at the end
of the rainbow, gilded hay,
summer’s rich bounty.

Ides of August

Cows and calves in the Smylie Meadow

Alfalfa windrows

All is green and warm. It’s hard to believe that we are not far away, in time, in temperature, from fall. Soon we will see frosty mornings, golden leaves, and critters headed for lower climes. For now, we hang onto these long sunny days. Each sunrise the sun sneaks south, while we breathe warm breezes, a little longer.


Cora and Sadie, looking ahead
