Random thoughts of a girl who used to try to fit in the box. Then I realized that boxes are stupid. Except this box, the one above. It's really pretty.

A Piece of Wheat Field Heaven
This has been my husband's home for the last three weeks. I kind of envy him.
However, should you doubt that we are all wheat fields here . . . .
I will confess - - I don't like ANYTHING in August! Way too hot for me . . .but when it cools off, I feel like the most blessed girl in the world for all the beauty surrounding me!
It is ironic that I am the only member of our community on the mountain, who can eat wheat. Annie is getting good at gluten-free baking, including a multi-grained, brown bread. As for the August heat, I guess I'm the odd one out. I just put two ice cubes in my hat, and soak the neckerchief that covers my neck in cold water, every so often, and I'm good to go. It's the cold in the winter that challenges me. I loved the pics.
It kind of makes me feel itchy and hot...but it is beautiful to look at!
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me smile this morning :)
DeletePretty--but I would miss trees. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, but Dana - - there are mountains and trees all around us! We've got it all here!
DeleteYou're in Walla Walla aren't you? Sadly, I didn't spend any time in E. Washington. It's beautiful and so different on that side of the Cascades.
ReplyDeleteLike two different gorgeous worlds!
DeleteLavender fields? That is awesome!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it gorgeous, Sarah?!
DeleteI love the lavender fields and the mountain scene, Beautiful.

DeleteThe lavender fields are glorious.
ReplyDeleteI love that word - - glorious! Perfect description!
DeleteDoes anyone like where they live in August? I've never lived anywhere, except maybe the Black Hills, that it wasn't hot in August.
ReplyDeleteThe Black Hills just SOUND hot :)

ReplyDeleteIt all just adds to your charm, Mark :)
DeleteBeautiful! At first I felt an allergy attack coming on , but then remembered you said wheat, not hay!
ReplyDeleteJust tons of beautiful glorious golden wheat!
DeletePacking now. Chicago has been driving me batty this week. Do I need to milk anything when I arrive? I'm not much of a milker.
ReplyDeleteNo, Marianne, our milk comes in cartons. Although, it might be kind of fun to try. I'll get our guest room ready for you :)
DeleteAaah...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed.
DeleteIt looks Great!! I envy him, too!!
ReplyDelete:) Thanks for stopping by!
