A Shasta County sunrise as the "Dog Days" of summer are winding down.

We have been busy with much in the last year and I miss blogging. I read multiple blogs daily and am inspired to get back at it. I picked a funky time to get going again as I still have a few journeys off the farm to make before I start preparing barns for winter and cozy down here at home.

I have been off the farm more than I have in years since my Daddy passed a year ago. Lots to do concerning the legalize with that type of situations and I give big kudos to my youngest sister for handling it in a swift professional manner. I hung around a lot for moral support and to get to know my baby sister again. 

Lots of smiles from the graduate and her cousin. Aubrey is our first Grand Girl to graduate from high school with her cousin Emily on the left following hot on her lead in June of 2017. I have NO idea how this happened as they were just little's yesterday.

Then there was what is quickly becoming the annual Oregon trip with the three oldest Grand Girls and myself. And squeezed in between was a visit from the youngest Grand Girl Genna.  I have two weddings this month to attend. The first yesterday on the coast north of  San Fransisco about an hour plus. A lovely day for my friends daughter to wed. Cool weather and good company held on a farm couldn't ask for more. 

I am in the process of giving the blog a remodel. Please be patient and don't be shy about offering your thoughts on the new decor. Constructive comments are always welcome.
