Back Road Turkey Trott

A delightful country drive.

Locals out for a stroll.

Small traces left behind.

Blackberry Pick'n

The ever-present "yard boss".

The blackberries are ripening nicely with the warm weather we've had.
I made a custard with some of the berries and froze some for use in smoothies.

Got Corn?

It is hard for me to describe the excitement I get at the sight of a corn-field.
The farm daughter in me just can't resist stopping and trespassing into the rows of corn.
It is cool and shady in there. The smell is sweet and earthy all at once.

Childhood memories of my father and uncles cutting corn silage
to fill the silos for winter feed flood my mind.

Ruby Tuesday : Red Raspberries

Vermont's State flower : Red Clover

In the tall field grass wildflowers grow and bloom. The smell of the warm moist earth mingled with the sweet fragrance of grass and clover. A gentle breeze made the whole meadow dance about. I could have stayed and sat for hours in the warm sunshine but I needed to return to work.
