Summer……Flowers and Hay Hauling



In between trips back and forth to the hay field,

I have been taking the time to

stop and photograph the flowers.

Enjoy!




Tree Lily













White Lily……love the rain drops


You are welcome to use these images

in your personal art work.



All of the hay fields have been

mowed….raked….baled:


Now it's time to load it up and haul it to the barns

for winter storage







More than 500 round bales to haul out of the fields!




Here is a LIVE video of loading the hay bales:

Summer……Hay and Home



We are hauling bales to the barns for winter storage…




This is the hay field across the river from our house…







You can see our red barn across the river…







Just to the left of the red barn is my yellow Thread Shed…








This is the view from our place looking across the river

at the hay fields







We have 250 tons of hay to haul out of the fields…








We went up on the ridge last night and took this photo 

looking down on the hay fields and home…







You can view Mary's Peak off in the distance







Now that the hay fields are baled, 

I am here at home mowing the pasture.







I miss working in the Thread Shed,

but this time of year I'd rather be outdoors in the sunshine!

Flowers and Hay Fields...



In between working in the hay fields,

we have been trying to keep the deer out of the flowers…




I collect metal bed frames to use as flower fencing…







We painted 6 bed frames and put them around 

the new hollyhock bed in the back yard.

Last year the deer came in 

and ate the hollyhocks down to the roots!







This is a guest/storage house.

I store my quilts in here…..rolled up on shelves.

Taken from the back yard…….hay fields across the river.
