Sometimes it's good to just stop; look back; and be thankful for what is TODAY.
Since they began in the spring, we've kept saying that it's difficult to complain about the (seemingly unending) rains, with the drought of 2025 so close in the rearview mirror.
I came across the 'then' photo yesterday when looking through the camera roll, and it stirred up that 'sick to the stomach' feeling that we felt last year as we watched things get progressively more dry, and more brown.
So today, we stop for just a minute to allow ourselves to be overwhelmed with all that is good... and there's plenty of it!
The second photo is one that I just had to grab for the 'history books'. It may be a long, long time before the soybeans will be up to our waists again.
Thanks for being on this journey with us... through the ups, the downs, and everything in between. π
