Dew on Wheat Grass

Nature is a revelation of God;

Art a revelation of man.

-- Longfellow

December Sky from My Yard

December 1, 2008

The crescent moon along with Venus and Jupiter. I took this photo from my yard.

That's Venus on the left and Jupiter on the right.

Jupiter is 540 million miles away from Earth.

Venus is 94 million miles away.

The next time we will see this trio will be in the year 2052.

Rain

Our first rain in 3 months!

After the Rain

Arizona Thanksgiving

Even on Thanksgiving Day, it's still Spring in Arizona.

Cat Grass

Red Winter Wheat planted a week ago so the cats will have good healthy greens to eat through the winter. We have grown this before and can actually get a crop of wheat out of it. The threshing is the hardest part.

(note the two sweet potatoes growing in the left side of the patch)
