My Garden - Delicious Scents

 

The lovely weather has

produced an incredible growth in my

perennials...

 

The Creeping Phlox is flourishing...

 

 

...and the Lilac bush is  wafting it's scent

through out the garden.

 

Can you smell them?  : )

First Crop - Haylage

 

It has been a beautiful, summery week for the dairy farmers,

...perfect for making haylage ,

which does not need to be as dry as hay bales.

 

As you can see, the front wagon is almost full..

and the next wagon is driving in behind, waiting for it's turn,

...very efficient. 

 

...Another farmer uses a silage truck,

which is much quicker

when travelling a greater distance to the farm yard.

Barn - Barns and Windrows

 

The weather is hot and summerlike and hazy...

...and you can see the hay windrows in the fields...

 

 

 

...of this 1950's farm which once was used as a movie set...

(All but the second house is original)

 

 

 

 

 

...and Mt. Baker, in Washington,

 is just peaking over mountain.  : )

Curvy Lake Road

 

I love this little piece of curvy road

alongside the lake...

This photo taken a couple of weeks ago

when most of the road was in the shade,

...but the morning sun highlighted

the distant trees.

 

 

 

These two photos were taken a couple of days ago...

 

...see how much greener it is this week.  : )

Canadian Geese

 

The Canadian geese have the entire beach to themselves...

 

..which they grudgingly share it with me...

...as long as I do not get too close.   : )

 

Do you see the one on the dock?
