Happy first day of Summer!
Shall we spend it in the garden?
My garden is one of my happy places.

(one of many)
Arriving at the garden each morning,
while the dew is glistening like crystals in the rising sun, is delicious.
With the sun low in the sky, the green of the growing veggies
and the vegetation on the ground is intense... almost electrified.
Just across the lane, in the woods is a Baltimore Oriole singing its sweet song...
my morning serenade.
A chorus of song birds provide back-up, while our resident mockingbird
tries to out-sing them all.
It's hard to believe...
but, overnight things have grown just a little bigger than they were the day before.

The perfect mixture of sun and rain (and a little watering to help out) has made
this the best garden yet.
It's heaven, I tell you.
I wish you could come with me on my morning tour through the garden.
This year I am having a love affair with my garden.
In previous years it was a cross...sort of a love/hate relationship.
Previously it was always a losing battle with weeding.
This year....ahhh, what a difference.
Planting grass between the boxes (along with the weeds) has been a God-send.
No longer do I fret about what is growing on the ground.
Now I only concentrate on what is growing in the boxes.
And, oh boy, are things growing...
good things!
I have so many vegetables, I swear I could open a produce stand.
Sadly, though, with only 2 or 3 cars on our road each day...
I would not have many customers.
I made a little video yesterday afternoon after a storm
just to show you how things are looking...
Luckily, those storms held off til afternoon.
We had special farm visitors in the morning.
We love welcoming our farm friends here to enjoy our animals and our beautiful land.
You can never start little farmers out too early!
It was obvious throughout the morning that Tom and Fred thought
everyone was there just to visit with them!
