The lilacs in the hedge on two sides of our house have lasted much longer than many years with the cool weather, today they are totally open and just standing by the hedge trying to capture the light of the setting sun on them... the smell was wondrous! Add to that the smell of the campfire we had to roast hot dogs for supper, and the smell of grass and the sounds of family getting cows and calves out to pasture and kids talking by the campfire or playing with bare feet in the gravel pile. Little Rose crawling across the lawn and making mooing noises back at the cows and calves as she sees her dad, grandpa and uncle out there as well as her brother, David.

Wow! Are those lilac eyes?
Farmer's Daughter - Mary - was out picking rocks with dad today. Her feet are tired like grandma's after working the weekend too.
Campfire to wind down on a wonderful evening - no wind or bugs tonight- what a treat!
Jesus, we thank you for a lilac sunset with family on the farm. Jesus, we trust in YOU. Bless-bless, Barb
