Happy Places

Everyone has their happy place. 

I think mine is somewhere between a freshly bloomed lily and a happy wild mess of zinnas.

For some, it might be sitting by your best friend in a sunny pasture.

Others might find it in the satisfaction of hard work turned into a year's supply of garlic.

 

Or in that miniscule space between sky and ground at the top of a mountain.

 

 

 Or maybe between the four legs of a colt you've raised.

 (Who recognizes this little boy, Guster, from last winter?)

All grown up now!

 And lots of people (myself included) discover it in the diminishing light of a setting sun across crashing waves.

Or in that ring of slightly warmer sand around a beach fire.

 

 Wherever your happy places are, I hope this summer is providing you lots of time to enjoy them and explore new ones!
 

Snippets of Summer

Here's a quick peak into our summer. Enjoy! 

Boys and Dad work on firewood while Andrew builds the new woodshed to store this years firewood.

 

A bit cooler weather means Theresa is trimming all her horse's hooves!

 Our shop has been nicely busy--we're pumping a lot of productivity out of that little wood shop!

Now that the bugs aren't annoying the horses anymore, the children are! ;) Our four legged creatures get a lot of attention on these beautiful summer days.

Lots of time for swimming and play leftover at the end of these long summer days--LOVE it!!

 

Farm puppy! :-)

 

The garden is such a peaceful place in the evenings!

So ends another lovely day!

Thanks for sharing,
 

How Our Garden Grows...

Since this is a question that is (annoyingly) asked a lot of me, ;) I am going to share (pictorially) how my garden does in fact, grow...

For me, this is the most beautiful, peaceful place in the whole world.

 

So, this is why I've not been inside blogging in the evenings, when a beautiful space such as this is my backyard... (omg!)

 

Thanks for visiting!
