Slow News Day

     When I went out looking for pictures last night and this morning I didn't find much...


     A whole lot of this... Exciting right? Actually it's not so bad as that. This recently disced, (the spell checker doesn't think that's a word) or tilled if you like, field is just where the rest of the wheat stubble is headed.


     A dozen of these hawks were illustrating why rodents need to breed to prolifically. Without the hay to hide them, no small animal is safe from those exceptionally sharp eyes. (and talons, they're sharp too)


     Everything is growing and seeding and such. And for the most part, that's what farming is still about these days. We've not even finished the second harvest, after all. Soon the scales will tip towards more harvesting, but for now it's still mostly water, weeds, and bugs.
