Hauling Hay...

Many years have passed since those summer days

Among the fields of barley

See the children run as the sun goes down

Among the fields of gold.

As I watched the guys haul hay last weekend

I thought about the old Sting song "Fields of Gold".

I also thought about my childhood watching each year as my Dad grew wheat and we watched as they cut it. It blew like liquid gold in the field as the wind hit it. I always thought that no one could make a paint color that could equal the gold color of Dad's wheat field. God's colors are so powerful and beautiful. Wonderful memories.

Watching Wes, Dad, Chance and Brad haul hay was also a beautiful time to put away in my memory for a cold, winter day. The sun was warm and made the pictures so lovely, the fellowship was great and I enjoyed every minute of it.

They sowed fields, and planted vineyards

that yielded a fruit full harvest. Psalms 107:37

The sky is always so beautiful in Texas. Always. Every sunset is different and lovely.

Gus

Underwood's after all the hard work. Great reward for these guys.

This fawn ran around out in the hay field for two days. We think he lost his Mama somehow. He was so beautiful. Hopefully some other nice deer has adopted him by now. :)

Blessings on this gorgeous day! Amy

It was an enchanted weekend of wedding fun. From the rehearsal to wedding day luncheon to reception. I am thankful we were able to be there and share in the fun and memories.

Bridal luncheon. Lots of smiles and laughter.

Beautiful girls.

My goofy boys. They make me smile. They were waiting for two hours for the wedding.

More goofy, sweet boys.

Brad and Dick and Tammy. Love you guys so much.

Isn't the flower girl precious?

They put pictures of the bride and groom's parents and grandparent's wedding cake pictures beside the cake. Such a sweet setting and idea.

Gorgeous outdoor setting for the reception.

Yes, that is who you think it is. So fun to meet him and his wife.

Fireworks at the end of the evening.

Wes, texting some girl...I am sure.

Sparklers

Sorry these are a little blurry toward the end. I had tears in my eyes and could not focus too well. What is it about the bride and groom leaving the reception? It kind of squeezes my heart and chokes me up. I kept picturing Colt at age two and ten and sixteen and it made me cry. Happy tears and I have to admit sad ones too. Watching our children grow up is not always easy on our hearts. Change, and life moving on is constant and sometimes I am nostalgic for the days of old. I feel that way a little bit today.

But, then I think...we now have beautiful, kind, loving Rachel as a part of this family and we are blessed. This change is a lovely one.

Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything we need for life and Godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. 2 Peter 1:2&3

Blessings on your day. Amy
