May in Bloom

 Rain and more rain... but also flowers. I took photos on May 2nd of blooms outdoors and in. 

Outdoors, the Leopard's Bane is now blooming, so we don't have to worry about leopards anymore...

It was fun to take time to take photos. Most of the time is spent working outdoors... getting the raised beds and tomato tires ready, milking goats, feeding all the critters. Plus this is bird survey season on the coast... when the weather allows. Johnny works nonstop... often repairing all the machinery I break. 

Spring is a busy time on the farm. And a beautiful time... between showers.
