Happier Days!
Thanks so much for your words of sympathy and encouragement
over our loss of Edith.
Living at the edge of the woods brings both the beauty and the beasts of nature
right to our front door.
And we learn to take the good with the bad,
the happy with the sad.
It's the natural order of things I suppose.
So, today I am writing about happier things....
like flowers and grandchildren and pigs!
On the subject of flowers....
If I had to pick one flower to call my favorite....

On the subject of flowers....
If I had to pick one flower to call my favorite....
(which would be a difficult thing to do... picking just one!)
I suppose I would have to choose the iris.
The irises are in full bloom here.
This "black" iris (above) was sent to me by a dear friend.
It looks black on a cloudy day, but in the bright sun is a lovely shade of purple.
Tall bearded irises...
Irises remind me of my childhood...
we always had them in our back yard.
This past Mother's Day weekend brought visits from my kids
and my best little buddy, Tyler.
We took the goats for a walk and visited with the pigs.
This picture reminds me that I wanted to show you how the pigs have grown in the past 6
months.
Here they are with Maddie this weekend...
and yes, they love the mud!
Here they are back in November....
Can you believe how they've changed???
And yet our Maddie still thinks she's their mother.
She loves her piggies!
