I was shopping online for a polo shirt for Sam. He has a tendency to spill, and I have a tendency to throw clothes in the washing machine without checking for spills, thus, I was shopping online for a polo shirt for Sam and saw this model modeling. And yes, the actual picture cut off the poor guy’s head.

Who, for heaven’s sake, since that is where Mom is at and I am sure she agrees with me, WHO had the idiotic idea that it is stylish to tuck in the front and untuck in the back?

I like to let people be. I like to take the stance these days that I have not walked in their shoes, therefore, I have no place to judge.

But seriously.

That looks ridiculous.

I would ask the photographer to cut off my head too if I was that model. How embarrassing. All he needs is a pair of high heels with a big maxi-pad inserted for comfort to complete his outfit. (see previous post if that seemed completely inappropriate and random)

On to the important things in life.

Last night, Sam and I took an evening drive, a favorite pastime, since it was 124% humidity outside, too hot to walk, and the mosquitoes are on the hunt. We love the countryside views, and harvest has just begun all around, so we decided to sit in the comfort of the truck and AC blowing in our faces to see what we could see.

I am grateful for combines everywhere, working hard to get the fields done.

I am grateful for fields of fireflies, twinkling like it’s the land of Tinkerbell.

I am grateful for beautiful sunsets and strawberry moons.

I am grateful for deer, bounding across a field after we disturb their peace.

I am grateful for a skunk running the other way.

I am grateful for the sounds of meadowlarks and red-winged blackbirds on fence posts and frogs in ponds.

I am grateful for a husband who is happy to stop and back up so I can get a picture of the full moon through a barbed-wire fence.

I am grateful for the inventor of air conditioning in vehicles.

I am grateful for the beauty of ripe wheat fields and healthy corn fields.

I am grateful for bats in the front yard, eating all the mosquitoes.

I am grateful for the farmer wave.

And I am grateful for a beautiful ending to a hot day – it’s ridiculous how I never realized how glorious and praise-worthy a quiet drive on a boring country road should be. God has given us such an incredible gift…
