Apple Blossom Time

Dear Friends,

According to our "Mother's Magazine" from 1914, the best way to add a beautiful perfume to your hair is to spend some quality time in an apple orchard. We thought we'd give it a go, since our tree is covered in beautiful blossoms right now, but since we don't quite have a whole orchard, we had to get right up close and personal with the bees, so we didn't stay there for too long (although we did see lots of interesting green ones)!

We've been enjoying a cool day in the 70s today, after a few days near 90; we even had a little rain shower that refreshed us all (the chickens were especially appreciative).

The warmer weather certainly provided lots of quality outdoor drying time for the laundry, which is something we always appreciate~

The yard is full of delightful edibles like wood sorrel~

And dandelions~

And clover~

There are also a few budding gardeners popping up here and there, who enjoy the meditative act of gardening with a hose.

For those of you who need some inspiration to get to your tasks today, we provide you with this cloud picture, which we thought was a good reminder from Someone in charge of such things~

We've made a couple videos of ourselves doing a weed walk in the yard, but Google won't let us post them (perhaps to save ourselves from embarrassment)~ ☺ We'll have to go out and make some better ones, and then try again (brace yourselves!).

Love and blessings to you,
