Simple joys

After the one baby barn swallow casualty, I am happy to announce the rest of the hatch has successfully fledged. Like last year, I kept Oreo cat in the tack room for a few days to give the young swallows every chance to "get their wings." Yesterday morning they were flying about the barn with their parents. :-)  (I love their little faces; click to biggify them.)

Also taken yesterday morning. It makes me smile to see my man lovin' on our dogs (Dozer is in the chair with him). I think they were smiling, too. :-)

Yesterday's strawberry harvest. Several containers of raspberries went directly into the freezer. I need to pick currents today!

Can you believe I bought a watermelon with all this homegrown fruit to enjoy? Well, I did, because it's Brian's favorite fruit – and the chickens’, too!

And finally, who needs silver and gold when you have a fun horse to ride who is the color of a bright copper penny?

That's it for today from . . .
