Around the homestead in late June

Black-eyed Susans and yarrow greet you at the gate.

A good hen with her brood is a common sight.  Guineas and various poultry are happy foraging in the fields.

Griswold has grown.

Cheetah has settled in as an adolescent female.

And here is her sister, Susannah.

Kune Kune in trade for our ewe, Charley, with her black lamb.

The goslings were such a sweet sight.  Sadly the coyotes found seven as sweet morsels too.

June Blossoms

Marshal bought me my annual red geraniums for our window box in the spring.  They are a cheery splash of color in June. Purple catnip blooms in the foreground.

A wild rose, blooming profusely, has grown to entangle with the crabapple.  The apple doesn't seem too crabby.

I love the ruffles of a June peony.

Fiddling

A Saturday in mid-June, the family was fiddling in High Prairie.

The seasons passed, one running into another as they have a habit of doing.  This year was a blur more than most.
