Summer on the farm

Summer has come at long last to Cove Cottage Farm!



As I lie under the verdant green of the stately old Maple tree,

I dream of what the days of summer hold for me

here on our sweet little farm.

Bowers of flowers to be pressed...


...or woven into gifts for cherished friends and family.



Turning bounty


into blessings....










...to be savored when once again, the days of summer

have past.


Beholding beauty...


and sharing our place


with other gentle dwellers on the farm.








Welcoming the simple tasks



and sharing the simple beauty


of a lifelong journey

that began one summer

many years ago.

Love your embrace of summer - sharing the beauty and the blessings God provides - makes one want to fling one's arms out with joy and say Thank you! You've touched upon some beautiful aspects of celebrating summer - beauty, bounty and sharing - our journey began long ago in the summer and it gets sweeter each year! Thank you for sharing this with Savoring Summer!
God Bless,
Kathy

Counting and rejoicing in summer's blessings is so much better than complaining about the heat! Thank you for this sweet post. It's as refreshing as a tall glass of lemon-aide.

I enjoyed your post about summer. I love the phrase turning bounty into blessings. I grow lavender and love to make wreaths and wands and hope to get the chance to do so this year.
