See You In June

And so we head into the end of another week.

It was a good week, in retrospect...

but one I would rather not repeat for...

let's say... another year!!

Sammie has slid into summer mode...

when lying in the cool grass is the best activity to which one could aspire.

Chloe is doing fine since Tuesday's surgery.

She is being a good patient.

Thank goodness she doesn't hold a grudge,

and is still just as happy to see me as always.

As I sit here and talk to her,

I am aware of another face staring a hole in my back,

begging for attention.

Always nosey!

Yesterday began as a rainy day.

Earlier in the week I had planned to take a few hours off the farm,

during the rain, and stroll through one of my favorite 

antique stores.

It's never crowded and it's out in the country... masks are required,

so it seemed even safer than the grocery store.

I pretty much had the place to myself and was happy to find 

this sign for Maven Haven.

I knew I had to bring it home when I flipped it over...

Perfect... sort of like a mood ring.

I also added a mirror inside.

It's a mirror that has been in storage for years, unused.

I think a mirror helps to add a little depth to a room.

While I was gone, Hubbs had run to the local grocery store

to replenish our Ritz cracker supply.

(We should own stock.)

When the sun came out in the afternoon,

I headed out to restock the treat box.

(It's a mailbox that sits atop this post between the sheep and pigs.)

Got Ritz?

With temperatures in the 80's, 

I am sure the sheep are happy to be rid of their fleeces.

Weeks ago I had mentioned that Tom, our elder turkey

had seemed a little "off".

Update... he has recovered from whatever was ailing him at the time.

Tom is doing just fine!

I stopped in the garden to get veggies for supper and came out

with a huge handful of asparagus.

The sugar peas have blossomed, so it won't belong before

we are inundated with sugar peas!

The raspberries are loaded with blossoms...

as are the blackberries.

I think it's going to be a very good berry season this year.

Our pest management team has been very busy 

eating the local insect population!

When they aren't spending time dust-bathing at the spa!

Our world is getting more colorful each day...

Isn't amazing how vibrant nature can be!

Have a great weekend.... the last of May,

and we will see you Monday...

June 1st!!
