I've shared many pictures of winter and snow taken in our back yard, and I've shared some spring flowers as well... Today I thought I would share these summertime pictures that I took the other day. I love spending time outside in our yard, it's like being in a quiet, 'secret' park. There is farmland on both sides and behind us, making our place very secluded. We have a creek that runs along the back, separating the farm behind, from our yard. With trees and flowers along it's banks, the creek is so beautiful this time of year. Unfortunately, during a wild summer storm a few weeks ago, one of the focal trees directly across from our house lost two of it's biggest limbs. It left the tree in sort of 'V' shape now. It will probably look funny come winter when all the trees lose their leaves. Oh, I just said a bad word one too many times here... 'Winter' ~ I can definitely wait for winter, not my favorite time of year! Anyway, now cut and stacked for firewood, it was sad to see those limbs laying across the yard.
Our poor 'V' shaped tree...
We'll probably have to cut it down one day.
This is our garden area behind our barn.
Farmland is beyond the very furthest trees.
Love this shot that I took, of the trees near the creek!
This is the opposite side of our yard (from the garden area).
The little white house, beyond the farmland,
is our nearest next door neighbor...
I love our Weeping Willow Trees!! :)
We have several very old Weeping Willows.
Looking toward our road...
Some of our flowers...
I love these Lilies, we have them all around our yard!
This one I call 'The Colors of the Sun'

Or a Squirrel, or a Chipmunk...
Lucky for this family of Turkey's... Izzie wasn't outside at the time!!
How they run and fly when Izzie enters the yard.

A Robin built her nest in our yard this spring...
Robin's eggs are so beautiful, aren't they?
