Hello dear friends, we have been gripped by a heat wave for the last few days and it is expected to continue for several more days. Even in the country we are finding the heat uncomfortable! Our temperatures are in the low 30s with humidex values approaching 40 degrees. Even the night time temperatures are warm at close to 20 degrees so there is not much relief from the heat.
Still, things could be much worse. We hosted a birthday barbecue yesterday and had an unexpected thunderstorm with 18 mm of rain but fortunately it blew over and cleared up in time for pre-dinner drinks. This morning though we had misty conditions which I captured and am sharing!
It took quite a while for the sun to burn the mist off over our forest. It is still quite hazy even now which is late afternoon.
We are getting so much enjoyment from our temporary fire pit. We enjoyed a late drink and birthday cake at the fire last night. The sky was clear and we enjoyed the moon and stars (but I didnt think to take a picture!)
This was a long shot this morning of wild turkeys in our back pasture.
The sheep are heading out for the first stroll of the morning in search of windfall apples.
One of our farm tractors in case you are wondering!
The mists are lifting from our front hay pasture on the other side of Willoughby gate. This area is a work in progress and is going to eventually to connect our "old" driveway with our "new" driveway so that we can enter one way and drive out the other way. Even though we live on a gravel road in the country many passing motorists have no regard for the speed limit and we have more than one had a close encounter with a speeding vehicle as we were trying to back out. This will allow us to enter the road way where we have better visibility. In all the driveway will be about 500 feet long when finished.

These are some of our new laying hens.
We have a bumper crop of apples this year. The crab apple tree in Bailey's garden is drooping with apples

Thank you for visiting and wishing everyone a great week!
Te mgliste widoki mają swój klimat, ale to zdjęcie owieczki na samym początku skradło moje serce. Wpadłam tu przypadkiem i nie żałuję, naprawdę piękne fotografie! Pozdrawiam ciepło :)

ReplyDeleteJa swój wolny czas lubię spędzać w ogrodzie, jest mnóstwo drzew, krzewów. Nawet ostatnio dokupiliśmy trochę drzewek w miejscu takim jak szkółka drzew białystok i faktycznie prezentują się pięknie
