August--the wind blows in visitors!

 

Not at the farm yet, but Mary Jo and Jane

made it to Trina's in Iowa on the first.

and to Ana's in Minnesota that evening! 

They arrived at the farm on the 2nd.

Mary Jo taught me how to make hummus.

It was better than "Joe's"!

Had to get a pic at the rock the next day.

Then we went to the duplex in town. Mary Jo 

helped Bob organize the garage, and Jane helped

me put contac paper in the kitchen cupboards.

They treated us to supper at Dakota Farms.

Back at the farm, Jane learned how to make

Syrian cheese. This is the "taste test"!

On Sunday afternoon, we toured the 

Prairie Village Museum and met Clifford 

Thompson. After a couple of hours 

at the museum, we went to the Little Flower 

Corn Feed which is now held at Ellery Park. 

Monday, August 5th: "On the Road Again"

heading southwest to New Mexico. 

"Thanks for the Memories"!

My flowers actually grew this year!

Over two inches of rain this week!

Spacious skies and amber waves of grain

Wanted to dance; not just listen....

Bob decided to put a new light on the barn.

I had to operate the boom. Yikes!

😬😬😬

Actually, I do use my clothesline for laundry,

but the spider seems to want to share it with me.

"Charlotte" rose before the sun on the 23rd.

Bob took this pic from inside the house!
