Foggy Morning Picture Walk ~

Good Thursday Morning
~ Friends & Folk ~

thought I'd take you along on another picture walk of the farm…
join me, won't you?

tiny hummingbirds have been visiting my red geranium

sweet angel offering a sip to whomever needs one on their travels...


wisteria on shop fence


bearded iris

waiting…..



happy pansy faces


new lamb's ear fuzz ~


and we have strawberries!


{ok, we have two strawberries} ;)


lily of the valley

hello little friend,  ~ I'll give you a pet!


our barn through the bittersweet on farmhouse porch


Roxy left a gift for me under the rosebush ~


it's a partial deer-jaw….when the hunters kill them in the fall,  they just leave their poor carcasses to rot.
Roxy & Lazy usually bring antlers and bones to us ~ poor things.


wild poppies growing free


look how big our kittens are!
in the summer, they live in the 'kitten coop'
{{ to keep them from being Mr. Fox's next meal!!!}}


baby chicken-butts



good morning momma-Esther!



Peter loving on 'Tig' ~ my how big he has grown!!!



Roosty says 'good morning to you!'

Hoping your day is filled with beautiful little things 
...that make your heart happy!
