The Barley is being harvested...



The crop isn't exactly ripe in these photos but you get the gist: this is one of our barley fields.

This is a photo of Erlend "bruising barley." The cattle can't digest whole barley grains so they have to be smooshed flat. My husband looks like a duck...
Smooshed barley hehehe! God's bounty sown, grown, harvested and smooshed! The cattle eat this stuff like candy!

LOL I think all animals have watches. DH will tell stories about how his mom no longer had to set an alarm clock because their cat would come and sit on her chest/pillow (a la Garfield) until she woke up to feed him.

God Bless!

Yes, our cat is used to getting her breakfast at 6:30 (thanks for making her get used to it, Mom!!), and if we're 5 minutes late, she makes such a noise we must get up.
