Nine Thousand Words... and a Few More
Spring has me in its clutches -- I'll get back to visiting and commenting and. oh, yes, a FAQ post tomorrow. Until then, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Bleeding Heart
Wisteria
Marigold and Justin
Trillium (Wake Robin?)
Dogwood
John is building a more permanent house for the broiler chickens.
That first picture is breathtakingly beautiful. What a magnificent scene! I love wisteria. It grew all over in Grahamstown where I attended university and I always intended to grow my own once I 'grew up' and had a garden. I never have attempted to grow it and I wonder why?
You live in a real life fairytale, with Marigold completing the picture! What a productive family you are...such busyness, it's no wonder your blog needs to take a backseat! Thank you for sharing your idyllic life...yes, I know...we only get to see all the beauty while you're out their labouring daily ;)
smiles. the world is looking rather beautiful in your neck of the woods...nice pics of the milking as well...best wishes for the new hom of the chickens as well...
Sometimes pictures can say so much, but so often it is that combination of image and word that is truly wonderful. In that way the internet has taken us back and recreated a new golden world of photo-journalism.
Oh dear I thought you were busy writing a thousand words...must be that writing piece I'm struggling over...I have found that I have I-itis....woe Well..love your trilliums..heck I love all trilliums
Now I know that it's wysteria growing all around us. It's beautiful but I couldn't figure out why I didn't smell lilac when I thought that's what it was. Thanks!!
This is just what I wanted, seeing your lovely property and all its life around!!!! Wonderful nature, flowers, trees, cows and John making that house... I love so much your piece of land and everything you do there!!!! hugs my dear Vicki

Bleeding hearts are just beautiful!! I love them. The Jacarandas are in bloom at my mom's, near Tampa - Gorgeous!

When mother nature gets this busy, it's hard not to get caught up in it. Lovely shots, as ever.
With all the beauty you have around you I would be outside soaking it up too, blogs will wait.
What lovely spring time pictures Vicki ... after our winter I am more then enjoying our spring ... rain, winds and all!

Love your language!!
Wonderful photos Vicki! It's nice to see the world waking up after the long, cold winter.

I-itis....woe
Well..love your trilliums..heck I love all trilliums
I am so jealous of your wisteria and pink dogwood. All are beautiful!
Spring has me in her clutches too, but cautiously. They are calling for snow flurries here this weekend.

Looks like a busy spring for your family. Nice photos -- barbara
Oh, I remember jacarandas! There was one in my grandparents' back yard.
Desiree -- wisteria's lovely but awfully exuberant. I love it too.
So true, Alan -- a DIY cultural renaissance.

Such breathtaking glimpses of life on the farm!
The dogwoods, I miss them.
I've been clutched too : ) But it's nice-enjoyed all the pics!
If one has cows, one of them MUST be names Marigold! :) It's really looking quite beautiful up in the mountains. Will need to make a trip there soon.
