It’s been a very hard couple days. With the heat index of 115 I’ve been trying to keep animals cool, gardens going, and a toddler happy. I was drained today, but then something amazing happened. We were out in the orchard and saw swallows, looked up and saw hundreds of dragonflies! (Hard to get a good picture of them). Kept walking toward our trails and saw more monarchs than I’ve ever seen, easily 50!! Our daughter kept saying “wooowww” and I’m in awe. Just when things get hard, and tiring, something reminds you that these hard times are always worth it.
