We’ve enjoyed an incredibly pleasant week of weather at the Farmstead.  The evenings have been near-perfect with cool temperatures and calm winds.  The severe storms kept at bay all week.  Thursday evening, Darling Husbie and I were outside wandering through the gardens, both admitting it is evenings like that one that give us desire to want to remain in Nebraska.

Darling Husbie captured some of the skyward beauty ~ the time was 9:16:04 pm [the photo above].  I purposely note the seconds because I want to share with you how drastically the sky was changing before our eyes as the sun was beginning to set.

The time was 9:16:28 pm.  The pinks had turned to fabulous shades of orange in just 24 seconds.  Incredible, yes?  Fresh, still air.  Only the sound of rural country blessings.

The time was 9:16:58.  In another 30 seconds, the orange was deepening to red.  I can’t think of another instance when I’ve been able to witness such drastic changes in a mere 54 seconds.  The effect on the green grass, plants and trees was outstanding ~ almost as if they were a rich fluorescent green.

Truly phenomenal, and definitely a God thing! ♥
