God-Speak


The above photo was taken right after we completed our first hay mowing last summer. From a clear sky and a sunny skies prediction, the wind picked up, the heavens darkened, and we feared we were in for a downpour on our newly cut crop.
Fortunately, the Great Spirit gave us a break, and only a few sprinkles fell from the angry-looking clouds.

A few days later, Farmer Sam and Sammette (Steve and I) had a successful baling with good dry hay. Our horses are still munching on the results.
For more great photos, go to Skywatch Friday.

  9. Great pictures. We don't see too much square baled hay here in OK. Seems like most of it is the big round bales.
