Note: No Hodgepodge Wednesday today. Joyce is busy moving house. (I used to think it was so odd, the fact that the British say 'moving house' whereas we just say 'moving,' but actually, to say that Joyce is 'moving' doesn't tell you much, except that she's not sitting still. It's yet another case where the British are just so clever!)
The farmer who rents our land is cutting the alfalfa today. I've shown photos of that process before, but in case you missed it, here's a link so you can see that awesome harvesting machinery.

I wanted to include this photo because of the red buds of the maple tree behind that barn. The maple trees give us color (besides green) twice a year; first, in the springtime when they're budding, and again the the fall, after the production of chlorophyll stops and the leaves turn red, yellow, or gold.

Wisconsin has the most beautiful rolling hills.
(Of course, much of the year they're white, not green, but, that's the price we pay for all of the spring/summer/fall beauty...)

Look how much greener everything is in May and June!
A Random Thought:
Did you watch 'Shakespeare Uncovered' on PBS last night? It's a series we love. You can watch all the episodes online at THIS LINK. Last night's episode was Jeremy Irons with Henry IV and Henry V. We had previously watched 'The Hollow Crown,' so this was especially interesting.
