I just came in from a beautiful walk around the farm with Luna. The weather is gorgeous, sunny and hot with deliciously cool breezes that keep things bearable.
I don’t know what this tree is, but it’s festooned with bright orange blossoms that I find so cheery.
Across the yard grapevines I could’ve sworn were dead are leafing out beautifully. Maybe we’ll get grapes this Autumn after all!!
Last week I was able to get a good start on planting our orchard with an orange tree and a lime tree now securely in place. Aren’t the baby limes adorable? 🙂
I am happy to report that my dear ol’ garden has bounced back from two consecutive animal raids and is flourishing once again. Below you can see rainbow silver beet and purple Swedes, heirloom radishes and beetroot, and a very resilient horseradish.
And last but not least, our lovely Muscovy ducks are laying again.Yay!!
So far we’re getting two eggs a day with one broody mother and another one about to be. Can’t wait to see the wobbly yellow ducklings. 🙂
I love this time of year. Nearly every day there is something new blooming, growing or hatching. 🙂
What time of year is it where you are? What things are happening outside that make you smile?
