Morning euphoria

Admittedly a bit out of focus but typical of the first sight I see every morning when I walk out the door to take horses to pasture and spray water on the gardens.

While drinking my first cup of coffee and checking my Internet stops, I can hear an occasional chastisement outside from Kiwi.

I've never yet figured out what the horses do to get in trouble, but they do it daily. And, Kiwi keeps 'em in line.

This morning I decided to take my camera with me on that first walk. Each day's stroll offers some new views not seen the day before. A few are included here.

That time outside is spent taking horses to their pasture, dragging the hose around the west side of the barn and to the west lawn. There's weeding, spraying and discovery.

Though I didn't snap photos of them this morning, I spotted some growing watermelon and cantaloupe I hadn't seen before. That was in North Manure Pile Row or my Lovestead "vine-yard." Once those melons get their start, they kinda balloon with the hot weather.

I told Bill this morning, it would really be something if we could eat watermelon straight from the manure pile.

We'll see.

In the meantime, the place yields dozens of magnificent findings and lovely sights with each morning's walk.

Enjoy!
