I love farms and have long held a desire to be a farmer... I dream of happy chickens, taking dust-baths, ducks swimming in muddy puddles (and terrorizing any slugs that dare to come near my vegetable and flower beds...) I dream of having bees that drone happily all season long dancing with the flowers, pollinating blossoms in an orchard full of fruit trees.. Its a beautiful dream...
Bees loading up on pollen from the calendula flowers...
Giant sunflowers bow their heads as if too tired to
to keep them looking sunward...
Gorgeous orangey red Tithonia - one of my
favorite summer flowers...
Even though a little blurry, I had to include this sweet
little marmalade colored friend... he was a little
reticent about having his photo taken, and made a
dash for the shadows after I took my shot...
Lost in taking photo's of the flowers, I suddenly caught sight of
my shadow through the camera lens..., I had a moment of
childish delight at seeing my shadow self..., I'm not sure
why... When I have more time, I think I'd like to
write more about this..., perhaps a poem, or perhaps a dream???
Do you have dreams ???

What a fun day! I enjoyed going on the farm tour with you, Neinah.
Once, years ago, I did a dance in a dance recital to the song, "Me and My Shadow"... I was "me" and my best friend's big sister was my shadow. ;-)
A few nights ago, I had a dream that I had three Min Pins... our two that are deceased and other. It actually made me want to go take a look at puppies, and I fell in love with some TFTs on a website that belongs to a lady in Florida. We always had Toy Fox Terriers when I was little, and they have the best dispositions. I've never known one that wasn't sweet. I am SO tempted. ;-)
Just want you to know I have missed visiting you, and I hope to be back to my visiting schedule soon. Mr. Magpie is better, and I am relieved of my nursing duties. But I have about a month of catch up to do on things around the house. Still, I'm hoping to be visiting again in a week or so.
Have a lovely weekend...
XO,
Sheila :-)
