We had a lovely day yesterday and I spent time “opening” the front porch for the season. I swept, washed the furniture and filled the hummingbird feeders. This table was one of our finds last year when we moved in, tucked away in a barn, completely rusted. I sanded it and then painted it a lovely shade of green. The chairs came from the local dump.
The photo idea was sunglasses. And I realized I don’t have a pair right now. But this candle holder caught my eye as I was cleaning the porch: it’s glass and it reflects the sun.
I lost my station wagon to an accident last summer and ended up with one of our pickup trucks. I LOVE driving it although I still struggle with parking and getting on the ferry with this big vehicle.
The sky above the smokehouse earlier this week:
26 tons of mushroom compost got delivered today.
Found this old silver fork in a drawer when we moved into the farmhouse. I haven’t polished it.
I actually went to a meeting most of the day but didn’t remember to take a picture so here’s the real farmer in the family weeding the peas!
The farm is right along the rail line so while I was planting kale and weeding peas, I listened for the trains.
The I’iwi bird from Hawaii is endangered. I bought this one at the Philadelphia Flower Show and it’s one of the Audobon birds that makes the bird call.
My window seat on the second floor. Beautiful view of the trees and the porch roof and always a nice sunset. I don’t get to spend enough time here.
