Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Sunday, July 17 7:54 AM ~~~ We were delighted to have some rain on July 17, but it wasn’t enough for the moisture our crops need – and we had only a bit of rain since that date. Yesterday there were a few sprinkles. At least the last several days have been cloudy with […]
~~~ Thursday Evening, July 14 7:00 PM ~~~ We had some other responsibilities and a busy week, so were only able to attend on Thursday evening. This year’s study and activities were centered on the country of Australia. The theme verse for the week. This song brought out a lot of activity and joyous singing. […]
~~~ Sunday, July 10 8:13 PM ~~~ I love when a day closes with a gentle glow.
~~~ Sunday Evening, July 10 8:14 PM ~~~ While I was outside enjoying the evening air, I looked at our trees and thought about their height. Most of the ones you see in these pictures were here when we built our house in 1967 – fifty-five years ago. We added a few when we took […]
~~~ Wednesday, July 13 1:00 PM ~~~ As I was taking this picture of Bunny, Peg, Inge, Cerwin and Sam, a lady came up to me and said, “Excuse, me.” I thought I was in her way, but she was offering to take a picture that included me. 🙂 That was nice of her. We […]
I always find these fungi growths interesting. These pictures with an orange glow were taken at sunset. Not sure if this is a fungus or something else. They seem to be plentiful this summer – maybe due to the heat and sometimes high humidity.
~~~ Photos taken between July 2 and July 10 ~~~ This last picture is leaves and not a flower, but it looks like a flower. It also reminds me that fall is coming.
~~~ Saturday, July 9 ~~~ 4:26 PM. Turning the wheat straw to help it dry before baling. I expect this will be used for bedding for their animals. Sunday Evening, July 10 – 8:13 PM – I walked across the road to get a few closeup pictures. Monday Evening, July 11 – 3:26 PM – […]
~~~ Friday, July 8 4:38 PM ~~~ Oh, how I look forward to this each summer!
~~~ Photos from Three Different Days ~~~ I can usually tell when there’s a mockingbird in the area because of their loud song – and not always the same song. They can mock other birds and sounds. They sometimes sing at me from high in a tree or on telephone or electric wires. They are […]
~~~ Friday, July 8 and Saturday, July 9 ~~~ Friday 11:47 AM – Our fairly large tea bed was in need of cutting, so we decided to do it in one shot. Cerwin used his hedge trimmers to cut it at ground level while I stuffed it in a very large garbage bag. I spent […]
~~~ Tuesday, July 5 – Noon ~~~ I took these pictures from windows in our house, so there were trees in the way. Fields are dry in our area, so there was lots of dust. Taking a load of wheat to the barn for storage.
~~~ Monday Evening, July 4 ~~~ Everyone who attended brought a contribution toward the evening meal. It was a pleasant evening to have supper on the patio. The many faces of our sweet Emmy as she relaxed on my lap. Pretty flowers next to the patio Gloria, Zach, Jordan, Nicole, Nate and Lauree played lawn […]
~~~ Tuesday, July 5 5:24 PM ~~~ I was surprised by this large dragonfly-like critter – inside the screen. I pulled the solar blind down and gently opened the screen so it could be freed. It worked. I googled dragon flies and found some that were similar but didn’t find one that looked exactly like […]
~~~ Sunday, July 3 ~~~ “Somebody” accidentally uncovered Jesse’s computer setup before lunch, so Jere and Kristen decided to have him open his gifts before we ate. It had been covered with a blanket. He was one happy camper. I think he knew about some of the items because he had asked Ian to order […]
