Lavender Skies & Fern Valley

Guess what it is doing outside...very light showers

off and on today.....except for one "sudden down pour"

.....which caught me by surprise!

I had just finished planting

tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini,

squash, basil, rosemary, parsley, and cosmos...

when I became drenched in no time.

.

We accomplished a lot this week...besides buying

the plants mentioned...Herhusband bought strawberry

plants for a rather large planter box he had made.

Over on the hillside near the path our grandchildren

use...I helped him remove a fallen tree that was

just barely resting on another...it was an accident

waiting to happen...

.

Here he's throwing a looped rope over it...

He attached it to the tractor and successfully

pulled it down...Safe for now!

Then I went in and made Strawberry Bread.

It was good...but I think I prefer Zuchinni Bread!

Earlier in the week we had a pinkish lavender blue sunrise.




These colors stood out to me in other places too...
in this patch of Wood Sorrel...




...but not in this Lilley of the Valley...

...but here it is in the Red Bud trees...

...but not...of course...in the Dogwood!

Over on the hillside...

while removing the dangerous dangling tree...

I spotted this single purplish blossom on a

small Paw Paw tree!

So...while we're here in the woods... follow me to

Fern Valley.

It has a few magical looking trees and things...

...to see...

...like this tree with it's two main trunks...with

arms reaching as if it were trying to escape...but can't...

...because it's tied down with vines!

You can see a strange orange fungus...and

if you click to enlarge you can see a tiny-tiny snail!

In Fern Valley...

you can see dead trees...

that look like towering steeples...

or scary faces...that look somewhat evil!

But in Fern Valley...

there's also trees...in this world...

that look just like

a

Dancing Girl!

Also in Fern Valley...

you may see a cat in the clouds.....

...sometimes...
