Random Shots and Random Thoughts

The Rattlesnake Master, which is a Native Plant, is blooming. Sheri and Matt gave us this.  Dragonflies are everywhere. 
Melanie and I often take walks around the Farm.  We are either walking early in the morning or just before dark.  Sometimes we can be found sitting on a bench along the path. Very rarely, you will find us staring into the lens of the camera.
Yesterday, we made a great Egg Bake for dinner.  We used the Solar Oven which meant that the Sun cooked it and we minimized heat in the kitchen.  The goodies in the Egg Bake were straight out of the Garden.  She sauteed them on the top of the stove just until they were beginning to get tender.
The pollen grains from the Corn Tassels are falling down on the Silk.  That means we hopefully will have fully developed Kernels on that cob.  Nature is amazing.  We Humans think we are so smart, but we cannot create Life.  We have only figured out how to diminish it.  Now whose idea was that anyway?
On our early morning walk, we noted that drops of Dew were forming on the blades of the Indian Grass. How ingenious is that for the Plant to figure out how to get a drink during a very hot time with no Rain. That robust Grass is grabbing water right out of the Air.  We Humans think we are so smart. Plants are very smart too.
