Received, what we call, a 'good rain' last evening - 7/10ths of an inch.
Rain just naturally cleanses and freshens the whole outdoors. This morning, all the plants (trees, grass, perennials) put on their happy faces - full, open foliage; bright green hues; and abundant blooms.
The most notable view was that of the lower pasture veiled in low lying clouds presenting a mystical, yet peaceful impression.
I spend a lot time looking at the mountains - so much so that I eventually command myself to try and get some work done around the house/farm. But, other times, I just keep gazing at the beautiful sky, mountains, farm - my world. Work can wait...so I continue to reflect and appreciate.
I have been asked on several occasions, "Don't you get bored of the view?" Bored? The mountains, the sky, the weather, the entire domain are always changing - each and every moment is different. Bored? NO. Fascinated? YES.
This afternoon, Glenn over-seeded approximately ten acres of pasture with a summer grass known as crabgrass. Crabgrass - yuck! My initial thought...keep this crabgrass out of my lawn! After much reading on pasture management, Glenn discovered that cattle think of crabgrass as I think of ice cream - yummm! Go figure. But, I am delighted to know that our cattle will soon be enjoying a few treats, too.
