Prairie Scenes

I have this Mary Engelbreit

print hanging in our guest bedroom

(the room our grand-girls are staying in)

I didn't have my camera,

or my patience tonight at 7:30

(when Grandpa and I were 

thinking of bedtime)

and the 5 year old is out

in the driveway

squishing her toes in the mud puddle!!

She found an old brass

towel ring (which is now her crown)...

to go with her neon pink princess dress!!

There she stood in full princess attire

in the middle of a mud hole.

It was quite a site,

and Grandma was too pooped

to run and get her camera!

(If I could speak German

I know I would've sounded

just like my Grandma!!)

AAUUCCKKHH!

 

15 days ago we were all praying for rain...

the dust was flying,

and talk at the coffee shop

was all about DROUGHT!!

Two weeks and 3plus inches later,

farmers are wondering if they'll

ever get back into the fields

to finish planting.

It's raining again tonight,

my lawn will need

to be put up like hay

when it finally stops raining.

The pheasants are loving it...

Roosters are gorgeous this time of year!

These two are so busy

trying to impress a hen,

they didn't even see me.

 

The sun will shine again soon

and of course the wind will come to 

dry everything out too...

 

 I am liking the view again,

it's much greener,

and green means promise!

 

 

and for those of us that live on the prairie,

PROMISE is better than DROUGHT.

 

 

 I am grateful for the rain,

the green grass,

 the wild asparagus,

the water for the wild birds,

promise of a successful garden,

and

I am grateful for the mud

and the 10 muddy toes I was

hosing off at the 

end of another 

crazy day 

with 2 wild and crazy girls!

Hugs,

Lisa
