Greeting friends, I awoke to the sun shining in my bedroom, jumped out of bed, starting brewing some coffee and thought I'd show you what I awoke to.
This says it all
Dropping into my friend, Sondra's shop the other day, she commented that I haven't shared too many pictures of my new locale.... (sorry about that) - With summer emerging the place is in full bloom.
As Spring progresses, I love seeing all the new colors of flowers that emerge
Best of all, my red vintage tractor was delivered from the old place to my new place. I only brought 3 things from my old place with me. My green glass chandelier, the red vintage tractor
My place is now complete... my red vintage tractor is now on my new place. Yahoo!
And my old planter... sadly I don't think the iconic flatbed truck will get to come over.
Old farm equipment makes for great planters
This is where I like to take my morning coffee
And me being my usual self of doing the "straight ahead focused view" and snapping pictures of my surroundings to share.....well I looked up and saw the misty morning with the sun just peaking over the hills. It made me realize that sometimes I get too caught up in what is in front of me and I forget to look up and see the big picture. A quick life lesson, step back and get a different view - you might just see something glorious.
A stellar morning view
With that, just a quick update my friends. As always, feel free to email me at swheatfarmlife@gmail.com or leave a comment. All my best, Gayle
A piece of Americana, does it get any better than this?

Dear America,
Happy Birthday from a 4th generation farm family who is grateful to be living in this great country.
As we rise each day, we know we enjoy many freedoms that others who do not live in the USA get to enjoy. And even though I speak out against the anti-Ag groups as I feel they are trying to erode the very fabric that has made America what it is today, we all have the freedom of speech and the ability to speak our minds. So as we celebrate America’s Independence Day, make sure and thank those who served to protect our great country and if you know of a farmer in your area, thank him or her for helping keep our nation nourished as well.
In the event you have not seen this amazing YouTube video from some very innovative young farmers promoting agriculture, then I invite you to take a look. These young brothers are telling their story their own way.
Once again, Common Ground has another great video on American Ag and what you pay at the grocery store.
Tomorrow we probably will go to a fun & crazy 4th of July parade and after that, well who knows?! Maybe hang out with the grand-angels and their momma & daddy (but I will definitely avoid spending quality time with the back pack sprayer) and after that , well…. I’m still in the process of getting photos on the other farm faces around our area, but this next week we are gearing up for the wedding reception of our youngest daughter, Kaitlyn and her fiancée, Andrew- which will be held on the farm. So more on that soon!
As always, many thanks for stopping by and wishing you and your family a safe & wonderful 4th of July.
