Collie, Toby, in a photo op. |
I loved today.
It was peaceful. And in spite of the extreme heat, the day held a certain easy-going charm about it.
Before I put an end to my day, I want to share with you the beauty that caught my eye and heart.
Sit back and enjoy the slideshow, and help me out with the picture at the end. :)

Prince, the collie, looking particularly cute with his tongue hanging out. |

I love how the peonies are the first to bloom on the farm. They're so happy! |

Metal Iowa corn is about all that's growing in this heat. |

Purple phlox is the sweetest and easiest addition to our yard. |

Roses, roses, and more roses. When we first moved here, they were nearly dead. |

Even though the chickens escaped to eat the hollyhocks, I see beauty as they brace themselves along a wagon wheel. |

Our jolly little gnome nestled in the river birch tree. Got a name for him? |
I hope these pictures sent some extra peace your way. Before you go, please take a second to offer a suggestion as to what I should name this happy gnome.
Sending DewKist happiness always,
How about Dewy? (Dewkist farms)
ReplyDeleteI love it! Friends have suggested some others, but I love Dewy! Thanks!
DeleteI just found your blog. I love these pictures. My suggestion for the gnome name is "Woody," but I like Dewy too.
ReplyDeleteHi Beverly, I'm glad you found my DewKist blog. Welcome! Woody is a great name too. I've also been offered up "Mr. Buggles." This is fun for sure!
