Trees

Over the last few months, I have taken quite a few pictures of some of the glorious trees we have on the property and thought I would share them here. Trees for me are a wonderful thing. I love to walk beneath them and look up at their twisted branches and catch a glimpse of the sunlight peaking through to the ground below. Most of these trees I have pictured here will not carry leaves for much longer, so I wanted to post some of the prettier summer pictures as something to remember when Winter gets here.

It's Going to be a Long Lonely Summer

Progress this summer has been slow. With enough occasional rain to keep the weeds growing heartily, it has been a bi-weekly trip to the property all summer long just to keep the cleared areas mowed. Not much else can be accomplished when the heat is so stifling you can’t breathe and the mowing takes the bulk of the time we have to spend at the place.

However, I have to reflect back on how things looked earlier this year and pat ourselves on the back (especially my husband) for all the progress we have made. Slowly but surely we might just tame this place. All of this hard work has done more than just send us home beat and exhausted all summer. This land is doing more than just growing trees, weeds and grass. It now has it’s clutches into our hearts.
