Summer

Sometimes there is a lot of work even on our 5 acre farm and we have so many plans for it that take time to accomplish. But truly, it is a glorious place to be, especially in late spring/early summer. It stops you in your tracks and reminds you why you are here.

Yesterday the peonies and iris started blooming, following the lilacs, tulips, daffodils and bleeding hearts. I've been outside almost every moment it hasn't been raining and after mowing last night I just sat outside for a minute to drink it all in. I also mowed a "walking path" through our meadow (field) for the boys and me to wind around amongst the wild plants (and weeds).

Now for more work but here's a shot of the peonies. I'm almost thinking we could have weddings here in May/June . . . ok, maybe when we get more caught up:).
