WATCHING THE DAYS SHORTEN


The rains have stopped, at least temporarily. The sun is bright and things seem to be drying out. The mornings and evenings are delightful, a little less so during the day because of the humidity, but nothing to really complain about. The corn has shot up during the rain, and is now also enjoying the sun.
I have put some chairs out in the wooded part of the garden, in the shade of the London Plane tree. With bird feeders close by that becomes a perfect spot to sit quietly and watch all manner of bird fly in and out of cover in the late evening.
Fireflies are lighting up all over the fields, particular to the now dry wheat crop on the East side of the farm.
Did you realize we have pasted the longest day of the year?

  1. Crazy to think that the days are getting shorter now. I wish I could sit in one of the those chairs right now and forget about everything I have to do. It's finally hot here and of course that's when the AC breaks. Oh well, I'm looking forward to a nice 90 degree day!

  2. Love reading you blog, Janet. Your pictures are always so beautiful and interesting and just reading about the farm makes me feel peaceful. Love the hydranga glass vase picture!
