 Before the warmer days settled in, we were having some beautiful

early mornings, such as this:

Handy Husband snapped this beautiful picture while on the greenhouse roof the other day.

PS. That IS our trampoline lying next to the horse barn. We had some of the strongest winds I've ever heard out here one night, and thankfully, the trampoline was the only thing damaged... well, that, and a bit of the horse barn roof, but that's on schedule to be re-roofed soon.

Bountiful Beauty

I cannot even describe the level of contentment I feel while spending time outside. Everything is so full of life right now and there is beauty around every corner. I love our little plot of earth and feel so blessed.

Our baby tomatoes, coming in nicely. I'm doing container gardening again this year, since I'm not sure if the grasshoppers will make their return this summer or not. So far we haven't seen a single one, but it's still early.

 

One of my "new" roses, given to me by my mom two years ago. It is SO full of buds!

 

Above, one of our Knockout rose bushes.

 

The two little guys love spending time in the yard...

 

As you can see by all the toys, our new "rose garden" is a favorite place to play.

 

An "old" rose that was here when we moved in.

 

This was a surprise... a strange-looking "bush" that up until this spring had never had so much as a flower on it, now has baby peaches!

 

This is our massive old rose bush that we've discovered actually has two smaller roses growing under/within it. It's so wonderful seeing all the beautiful surprises in nature!

This was the full moon we had the night of the Blood Moon Total Eclipse. No one stayed up to watch the eclipse though- it was far too cold that night and our beds were just too warm.
