My new wind chimes - made of vintage iced tea spoons!
Grapes are growing!
Cut, baled, sold, and being carted away
Bullfrog (?) tadpole- they are everywhere!
Sunflowers and 1 lone hyacinth bean
Same flowers a few days later!
The bees are loving the sunflowers!
The garden is coming along nicely
Tunnel of corn
Trout fishing- not my thing, but the husband's

All is well, on this cool, cloudy morn at Mountain Meadows……………

That first photo of the wind chimes is amazing and I love your sunflowers, amazing too. Pls take a far and away pic of the front of the house where the sunflowers are growing so I can get the full effect on the house, etc. But my fav is probably the hay bales, gotta try to print that one. Those bales of hay all over the countryside hold a real fascination for me. Lennie

What peaceful surroundings! I enjoyed all the pictures. Did you make the spoon windchimes yourself??

I love the windchimes – did you make them?
Wonderful wonderful photos of country living! Thank you for sharing …. and yes, those are probably bullfrogs – they are encroaching on all of the native frog habitats and crowding them out – bullfrogs in abundance – other varieties not so many any more ……..

I love the sunflowers and your chime is really cute! Don’t you just love the smell of new mown fields. I’m a country girl at heart.

Wonderful pictures. I have very similar spoon wind chimes…maybe I’ll take a picture of them to share. I bought mine in Occoquan long ago. They makes the sweetest tinkle in the breeze.
