Tuesday Dose of Farm and Cute: Good Morning Light

The 20-year-old homemade swing in the hayfield keeps getting higher as the tree gets bigger.

I haven't been taking any pictures lately, but a few mornings ago I decided to grab my camera as Bear, Bert, Henry, and I headed out to check on the donkeys, the chickens, the big dogs, and the sheep. Before we'd even left the farmyard I was seeing photos everywhere.

It's all in the light.

15 more photos below. . .

Wishing you a light-filled rest of the week!

1. Looking at that homemade swing always feels so peaceful.

11. Ready for bed after all night guard duty.

12. So glad I decided to try this cold tolerant Batavian Cardinale lettuce from Fedco. It's fast growing, beautiful, and delicious.

14. Two Katahdin Suffolk cross ewes, Helga (standing) and that sweet but feisty big four-year-old who still doesn't have her 'I' name!

15. Our five-month-old hens have just started laying.

Feel like a little stroll down farm memory lane?
