Early Morning

It was a beautiful sunny morning

so I grabbed my camera

and snapped a few

pictures.

 

 

Starting on the back porch.

 

I'm still patiently waiting

for the screened porch

to be built.

 

It will happen one day...

too many other things

need tending too

before the porch reaches

the top of the priority list.

:)

 

 

Now on around the corner

to the Annabelle hydrangeas

along the front of the house.

They're struggling where they are

but I'll keep working on them

and hopefully one day they'll

be happy there. 

 

The wagon is near the arbor

and front gate. 

We have to do a bit of work 

in that area yet but it will

get done when the porch 

and new sidewalk go in.

One day 

;)

 

 

Now we're over to the veggie

garden. I've been waiting

for free mulch for a couple

of months but I got an email

this morning that they have some

...now they just need to let me

know where it is!! 

 

One day I hope to have most 

of the garden area covered with mulch

to help keep the grass and 

weeds out.

Right beside the veggie garden

 is the chicken coop/garden shed.

My favorite building

here on the farm.

 

It's a neat old building.

 

 

Now we're over to the little 

orchard. We have two pear trees

an apple a cherry and two 

plums. We had two peach

tree's and another cherry 

but they died. All the 

fruit trees are old.

I don't know what I was doing

when I took this top photo...

I sure wasn't thinking of focusing!

 

This is the other pear tree above,

it's a different kind of pear.

These get a brownish

skin on them. 

We've never been able to enjoy

our fruit trees 

because the trees were let

to grow too tall over the years

(not by us)

and just when the fruit is

ripening...the birds come!

They seem to know when 

we're not home because we've

never seen them do it

but we know it's them

because before the fruit is ripe

they'll come in flocks as if to 

test how ripe the fruit is.

Then I think they send out scouts

to see when we leave the farm

for the day.

Then they fly in for the 'kill'.

I'm sure of it.

 

More shots of the coop/garden shed

along with one of our other 

old buildings.

 

Finally we're back to the porch

and the Trumpet Vine

that you just can't kill.

This old vine was growing up a

dead tree right in that spot

when we moved here 3

years ago.

We cut the tree down

(it had termites)

and dug up the vine....or

so we thought.

Now it grows up 

the eagle weather vane

and is taking over the 

old porch.

 

I don't really mind...

I may just let it grow along the

new porch...one day.

I hope your week is a good one

so far.
