Whoever says Kansas isn't beautiful has obviously never been here. Okay, so I know I'm a little biased, but I truly do think Kansas has a unique beauty. Maybe we don't have mountains, or crystal clear lakes, or sandy beaches, but I have seen so many beautiful things around the farm recently!
The wheat around our house is finally turning from green to brown (it needs to turn brown before it can be harvested). We had a very rainy May, so it looks like wheat harvest will be a bit later than usual this year around here. There was just hardly any sun in May to ripen the wheat. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the still green wheat made a beautiful contrast against the clear blue skies so I had to snap a few pictures.
The Farmer went to check on one of his fields and I rode along.
The wheat is much lighter now, and tonight as the sun was setting there were thunderheads all around us. So I ran back out to the edge of the wheat that borders our yard to take some more pictures.
If you don't hear from me after today, it's probably because I got the West Nile virus. Or malaria. The mosquitoes were OUT. OF. CONTROL. I guess they love all this rain we've had, but in the 10 minutes I was outside to take these pictures I got eaten alive.
When I turned around, the sun was setting behind the barn and I couldn't resist snapping a picture of that as well.
Of course, my trusty sidekick Harlee was with me the whole time. She likes to check out the wheat. All of her wheat inspecting duties must have made her thirsty, because she stopped at the water trough on the way back to get a drink.
