Officially the first day of summer, it arrived last night at 10:31pm. It certainly doesn’t feel like summer, it’s only in the mid 80’s. After a week of scorching temperatures, our high was 106. That was hot. Wheat harvest has started, but was slowed a bit today after some showers last night.
The sky was so blue with bright puffy clouds. Just had to get out!!

The cattle need a bigger shade tree
Less traveled backroad
Today was the first cool morning we’ve had all week. It was wonderful to be out for an early morning walk.
A little sun dog.
We were out just after sunrise. In fact we woke up a little fawn that was in the tall grass along side the road. I wasn’t able to get any photos of it as I had to get ahold of Wylie! The little fawn ran along the road and then went back into the tall grass. Mom was out in the field watching!!
Cone Flowers Echinacea growing in the ditch. Some people use the flower buds and leaves for tea. I was taught to dig the root for tea. That’s what I drank last winter to boost my immune system. Just steep the root and enjoy!!
My therapy. We are so blessed to be out on the backroads. No other sounds, just Nature
Headed home from our walk, cowboys were in the pasture gathering cattle. Beautiful morning to be on horseback. Wishing you a wonderful blessed day.
Sunrise welcomes a hot (not quite) summer day. Doesn’t seem possible that the summer solstice is just a few days away.
My butterfly milk weed and spiderwort are beautiful this year.
While I was watering the zinnias I this guy crawled out of the mud.
Peonies were so pretty, but I lost a lot of honeysuckle (that grew on the chicken fence) to the cold weather we had in February.
Even though it’s officially Spring, it’s a winter morning.
The start to a beautiful day.
It was such a beautiful day and we were needing some extra outdoor time. We loaded up and headed west.

A road well traveled. Thankfully not by many people. Plenty of evidence of deer and coyotes.
We have been having a beautiful September!! The mornings are so cool and there has been a lot of fog. My favorite time of day are our early morning walks.
Sunrise through the fog.
Sunrise through the smoke from all the fires out West. It looks more like the moon! Thankful that we can’t smell the smoke. Prayers for all the firefighters and all in the those effected by the fires.
Signs of autumn. My favorite season!
I love all the wide open spaces of my State.
Wylie and I enjoy walking the backroads

A beautiful sunset
A storm rolling in. The color was created by ice crystals.
There’s always something to do. Love starting the day with a morning walk, before it get too hot. Our temps are pushing 100 this week.
One of my favorite backroads

A new neigh-bor! Oh how precious!
The brome was cut and baled. Wylie and I moved the bales off the field.
Robin eggs
Mr. Farmer thought I needed something to do since I was going to be home a lot more than usual. He brought home 12 baby chicks. Oh boy Farm(er) Fresh Eggs again!!
Enjoying a lot of backroad walks. This photo looks about the same upside down.
Thankfully out winter weather didn’t last long. We received only a dusting of snow.
