Happy Wednesday, and yay, a break in the heat, humidity, and endless string of rainless days!
We've had sunrises that are lovely,
beautiful sunsets that signaled an end to a scorching day,
and thankful twilight time...when there was finally some relief from the heat.
During the days we've seen the change of seasons
around us...
field corn is just about dry,
neighbors are harvesting,
and every outing means a visit to say "hi" to friendly cows who can be found grazing happily at a nearby farm.
A quick trip to town last night and I spied the prettiest silhouettes of a windmill,
and barn.
And on the way home, the skies became dark & cloudy, and finally we received much-needed rain!
Next time I'll share photos of the living history farm we visited (had a little trouble uploading photos this morning) and a new picture of Bailey.
Yes, she has the all-clear and is heartworm free! While they'll retest in a few months, for now all looks good and she's LOVING her freedom to run, jump, and play again!
It's been a long 4 months of "house arrest" as we called it, and while lounging around in a darkened room watching relaxing, anti-anxiety videos for dogs (so glad there even is such a thing) was nice I'm sure, I know she's so happy to be back to her regular routine.
Thanks so much to all of you who sent her good wishes and asked how she was doing...it means a lot.
Enjoy the day friends, I'm off to continue to deep clean the basement (doesn't that sound FUN?)
Your photos are absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! But that first one especially is positively magical. I'm so glad to hear Bailey has been given the all-clear and that you're enjoying a well-deserved respite from the oppressive heat. We had a downpour of rain on the evening/night of my son's wedding and then some cooler days but it's supposed to warm up again starting tomorrow (well, in the mid-to-upper 70's which is warm for Nod LOL). Going back now to drink in your beautiful snapshots for the 4th (or 5th?) time. ;-) ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteRobin you always leave the nicest comments - thank you! I always appreciate your kind thoughts and support over at MJF. Thanks for your time - I’m sure your days are busy. I’m sorry to hear it rained on wedding day - that makes picture taking difficult - but I know you had a grand time walking baby crow down the aisle!
DeleteWe are going to get some much needed rain starting tonight into tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your sweet dog is doing so well. And who knew about the videos??
you live in a very pretty area

Such beautiful pictures. That's fantastic about Bailey. We are blessed with rain today and tomorrow and I'm so happy about it! Hoping all is well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Staci, it is good news and she’s a happy girl! We’ve had lots of days of rain too, so glad you did. It was really turning into a drought. Hope you’re having a beautiful October there!
DeleteGlad the temps are cooler for you. Loving those lil kittens. So sweet! Janice
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I felt like I was there with you :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your autumn weather xx
Awww Margaret thank you - I love being able to see what’s happening where you are - I’m sure I’ll never travel that far, but I often think about it and your photos help me envision what it’s like. Thank you!
DeleteSo happy for Bailey! Enjoy your playtime together. Glad you got some relief from the heat. We are experiencing Helene right now and She is making her presence known! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Daisy - thanks so much! I think we’ll take a walk to the lakes today - getting back to “normal” slowly. How did you make it through the hurricane?? Is everything ok?
DeleteHello, dear friend! So happy to hear that Bailey is up for parole! Your world is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us. Love those little kittens. : )
ReplyDeleteHa ha - a fun way to describe it Billie Jo! She’s definitely glad to be “free!” So happy the weather is changing - highs in the 60s this week 40s at night - huzzah! Hope all is well with your family.
DeleteThat's wonderful news abut Bailey. And, no doubt, a great relief all round.
ReplyDeleteYou experience some beautiful sunsets in your part of the world, Mary. Xx
Yes so relieved Jules - a perfect word to describe our feelings. We’re following your lead and out for a little walk around the lakes today. As I told Margaret - while I’ll probably never make it to your corner of the world - you share the best photos and adventures . I’ve been dreaming of them since high school - sigh - thank YOU.
