Working Weather

This blog is not a reflection of today, but a response to it.

It was one, wet day out there, so I was forced indoors, and found time to load some pictures. The days have been long, when the weather is good, so blogging is far down on the list. I hate to not share at every opportunity, but I find some nights the pillow does call sooner than others.

Today, the animals barely got out of their sheds to check out the new bits of pasture they were given, and if they had a computer, they'd be blogging about wanting to be in the warm, dry barn. Well, sorry! I didn't know it was going to be a torrent!This week-end was one of those perfect ones to get work done outdoors, and what was I doing? In addition to getting some more of the garden planted, I was mowing the fence line, and cutting the paths across the field.
I like doing it actually.

I like riding the tractor, and once I get started, its sometimes hard to get off.

Mowing is not a lonely task.

I have a herding dog to make sure the tractor stays on task, and close to the fence. Once in a while, I do manage to look up, and have to stop to admire the view. If I am lucky enough, my camera is in my pocket, and I can share the moment. Right now, the foliage is coming in with every texture, hue, and shade.After a lovely, working week-end like this, we're all dog tired.
