My little view is one I treasure. I’d started to say I was ‘lucky’, but as I read somewhere recently, that is not true…I am blessed. Very much so, as I sit in one of my favorite spots…our front porch swing…and focus on the abundant daisies, not on the abundant chipped and peeling paint…I will get to that another day.
The Grand Dogs are here for their summer vacation, happily tearing across the pasture to fetch their ball. They find the pond not cold, but delightful…as only two dirty dogs on a hot summer day can.
The chickens never cease to amaze us with their strange sounds and humorous chicken personalities.
Their eggs tend to come in all shapes and sizes, which makes me wonder where the eggs in the stores come from with their unity in form and color. One of our hens tends to lay an egg like a very large torpedo, which almost does not fit in the carton, the egg is so long.
Yesterday’s mystery was an egg that looked left over from Easter.
Fresh from the nesting box….
unbelievable with two tones…
isn’t mother nature cool?
It’s such a gift to find the pleasure in the smallest things….
Blessed indeed! I love that you share all these tidbits with me (or should I say us). I love seeing all of the pictures…your animals, the kids, the seasons, the guests, the chores, the neighboring animals, the machines, the garden, the barn, the house, the flowers, etc. etc. etc. Makes me feel like I am a part of it all! I love that!!
You are blessed, so are all of us, to be able to share in your journey. Love the photos!
Dear Ellen and family,
I marvel at your new life. So happy for you and all those animals and kids you care for. The best is all the photos! Thank you so much for sharing!
