"A deer" point of view from across the pasture....

"A deer" point of view from the dry creek bottom...sneaking up to the squash, gourds and cucumbers....but really looking for those delicious sunflowers....

The brazing "deer point" of view just outside the tunnel of deer netting and real close to the orchard....

Yea Pearl! Keep the deer out of the garden...Good girl Pearl! Thanks to deer netting tunnels and Pearl's vigilance the garden continues to grow and bloom for "a dear" view from my porch rocking chair.

Ahhh My favorite week of the year has the longest day of sunlight. The sunflowers reflect the beautiful summer sun late into the night this time of year to give way to the beautiful twilight where the lighting bugs sparkle into the clear warm starry nights. Ahhh summer, love it, love it, love it. Let the summer sun rain down on me.

Yellow clover is in full bloom at Hickory Green Farm and waving with the weight of honeybees collecting nectar. The field of yellow clover is humming with bees working very diligently to collect all that the cover has to offer each day. It is an amazing little environment to experience. Pearl even notices the field and approaches it with interest and observation, as if she realizes it is a work zone that she should not disturb. In all it's golden beauty the field may simply and quickly be enjoyed for its radiant color...but if you slow down and really enjoy the field for all it has to offer... you will smell the sweetness, feel the swaying waves of amber, hear the hum of the honey bees, if you take the time to really understand what the buzzzzzz is all about.
