We took a little drive up through the foothills tonight as the sun set. Been one of those days. Ya ever had one? I am not on here looking for sympathy but just wanted to share how easy it is to get your perspective all discombobulated! I lost my day job four weeks ago and it's brought some stress. The economy doesn't help much in finding work. I have stayed busy on my place but that doesn't pay the bills too well. And ya get to feeling sorry for yourself. But then ya go for a little drive with your wife and kids and ya see nature in all her glory and ya realize how good you have it! 
It turned my attitude around and I thought i'd share with ya'll. We had a sprinkle of rain that amounted to 8 drops but it left a pretty reminder!
Wish there was a pot of gold in my wirelot behind the old haybarn!
Up the valley a little ways was a postcard! Isn't it neat how all these little gifts are right there in front of us if we'll just take the time to LOOK!
Dusk on the desert is pretty special. The heat of the day disapates and the clouds make some picturesque views. Takes all the crap that builds up and replaces it with peace and a grin!
A two track that leads into a sunset! Paved roads just don't take ya places like that!
The forecast looks scattered and siloutted!
Sunset through the cedars!
Who need a job to enjoy a night like this?! :wink:
My attitude has done a 180* turn. The sun will come up tomorrow and something will turn up on the job hunt. Life is way too short to be having pity parties! :shock: All this came from an evening smelling a tiny rain shower on dry soil, some fluffy clouds and God's finger painting to the west!
It helps that my wife is the best woman ever and my kids are pert near perfect! They grabbed the flashlight at ten p.m. and headed for the garden to pick peas! The little pea-pickers did a great job! Hope you all get the moisture you need for your crops and cows. Hope you hug your kids and smooch with your sweetheart! Hope you know that one goofy guy in the west desert has it pretty dang good! Night!

I'm at my "day job" right now and I envy the good parts (and it looks like alot of good to me)of your situation-- in a friendly way. Hope you find a day job as good or better than your last one and I'm thankful to the Lord on your behalf for your fine family as it's obvious you are...and the beautiful soil your roots are sunk deep in to. Later.
