Welcome back to Illinois where it thunders and lightenings and rains and rains and rains all night long. Which is great for the gardens and the fields but not so great for the weary traveler.
After flying and flying and flying without a hitch I have arrived back at the farm.
The corn is even higher and soon I will be up and out and inspecting every nook and cranny.
In the company of these two.
Who are waiting not so patiently.
But first I wanted to pop in and say thank you to all of you who visited the writing guest posts of the fellowship over the past week or so. And thank you to our guests! It was great. So great!
We will do it again – gardens next time!
Now. To work!

PS Here is a shot of an almond harvest dust cloud as I was driving to the Fresno airport yesterday morning.
Makes my face itch just looking at it.
Suns out!!! I must away!

Glad you are home safe and sound. The corn is so high! Thanks for the guest spots. A terrific idea.
Glad you are back and without a hitch! Ugh, that dust looks awful.
Welcome home! Your airplane view made me pause- an expanded version of what I fly over going into Denver to see my girls, except I get the amazing Rocky Mtns as well. I’m always amazed how the Mtns simply stop, the farm circles show up and then there is this strange city growing out of the ground!
You weren’t kidding about the almond dust clouds! My antihistamines would be no match for that thing 🙂
No doubt there is lots and lots to do on the Farmy! Welcome back!!! 🙂
There’s no place like home!
¡Bienvenido a casa!
Welcome home, we have missed you. Coming back to inclement weather is always a downer, especially for you when it probably leads to even more work. Take it easy! I’m sure all your charges will be as pleased to have you back as we are. 😊
Welcome back Ceci……… “No rest for the weary, heh!”

Home sweet home…. it always is🥰
Those almond trees collect a huge amount of dust in the summer when there is no rain in Central CA. When they shake the hell out of them to knock the almonds loose for harvest, all that dust comes off at once. Would not want to be working on the ground until long after the shaker was gone.
Welcome home … oh so lush!
