Raindrops on....Peonies!

It was NOT "raindrops on roses" as the Sound of Music song goes, but, rather "raindrops on peonies" on this particular day. Actually, I was thankful for it because it made everything look more vibrant than usual.

Thank you, Erika, for allowing our younger guests to feed animals along the way on our tour. It was a delight to see their excitement in doing so!

“Where there is hope there is life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.” - Anne Frank

As I was walking around after everyone left closing garden gates and  reflecting on the great afternoon and many smiles even on a rainy day, I  stumbled upon this beautiful rock. It truly says it all.

Thank you all for sharing your hope-filled smiles and stories.

The Spring Goddess of Four Seasons!

 Although the "Spring" Goddess of the Four Seasons" may seem lifeless, as the CF&G website explains, "we know they are hard at work here on the farm when no one watches, performing their magic ritual called the circle of life."  There was plenty of evidence of that on this day!
