And we all weedily grow. Lankily. In adolescent stages.
We had one significant downpour. The dogs and I sat in the verandah and waited it out. Then I heard thunder then the bang of the screen door. I turned around and realized the dogs had run inside out of fright. Without a word. Like parachutists jumping out the back door of the plane at the first falter of the engines. Silent. I turned back and enjoyed the rain alone.
I made a small electric fence within one of the pig pastures yesterday for the Mama’s to take their calves in there. Luna and Laia will eat and the calves will learn about electric fences.
Do you see that the sunflowers curl to the sunset even when they have no flowers and I have no sun.
I found a Robins nest and while I took the shot Mum and Dad robin screeched at me “don’t touch. Don’t touch. Too close. Too close”. I am starting to get a complex.
These two love me though.
And this muddy mob.
Johns planting of sweetcorn (with his ancient John Deere planter) had a good watering-in.
I hope you have a lovely day

What a lovely post. It was a real portrait of your day on the farm…poignant with humour. 💕
What a lovely day… and sometimes that’s all we need ♡
Ah, I wish we had your rain. We’ve got scattered showers here, so a few minutes of light drizzle, then sun again before you could finish frying an egg. It’s been dry as a bone and unusually hot. Our average high for may is 65f… This year our average is 85f! Not to mention bone dry. Yikes!
Do you remember when boxes from Tiffany’s Department Store were robin’s egg blue. I am not very old, but I can remember that color. I also think it was a classic color for Chevrolet in 1957.
J have one! A Tiffany’s box with champagne glasses in it. I love the box as much as the glasses
Yes, even the boxes were elegant!
It’s raining here today, too. Ahhhh. So nice! We love the rain this time of year. You never know when the faucet will shut off for the summer prompting dry forests and fires.
I surprised myself just now. I had no idea how invest d I was in John’s old planter working until I read that he’d planted sweet corn with it and was overcome with delight. Hooray for making old things new, or at least functional!
