Farm & Cottage Moment...

Around the back of the cottage...



the puffballs watched as I walked past them


always must stop and snap their pictures


the flycatcher tilted his head to watch


and as always...parrots breakfasting on seeds high in the trees


my stop is at my potting table


I must stare at the flowers


and thank the Lord for giving us beauty to behold


under the eaves of the cottage...
a pair of finches are making an effort at building a nest


while one pair has sensibly succeeded at building theirs in the guava tree below



we have quite a few of this going on


with year round warmth and food to eat...
there is plenty opportunity to keep offspring coming


the pomegranates are growing, again


and the cherry trees are blooming


and have given us a new harvest of cherries with lots more to come


I checked on the pumpkins


I couldn't help noticing just how pretty this one looked...


all decked out with flowering weeds


"cinderella" pumpkin all ready for the ball


a pumpkin was ready for the picking

this one weighed in at 16.5 pounds


and, of course, a few cherries for breakfast


May your day, or night be filled with God's grace.
