...and the day, too.

The young berry patch seems to be doing well.

The cornfields are a deep blue-green. And, with wet fields and extreme heat and humidity (not to mention elevated levels of CO2), I have little doubt an inch or two of growth was added today.

On the way past a recently cut hayfield we saw several younger guys bailing hay, the old way, with square bales that needed to be heaved up onto a hay-wagon. Empathy and commiseration.

Lucky us, we got to take Ellie, Maddie, and Becca out for breakfast this morning, and then a bit later spend time with Ben and James.
