A Mountain Hearth

Tales of Modern Homesteading and Outdoor Adventure

May 24, 2010

Springtime in the Country: A Tour in Photographs

Spring sunrise over the back field

Our garden
An apple branch we trimmed this Winter becomes a living garden fence post!
Roses dripping with rainwater
Spring chickens
Ms. Frizzle the bantam frizzle rooster (any Magic Schoolbus fans out there?)
The neighbor’s field to the East, in bloom with native camas
Birds nests from my craft room
Birdhouse in the old apple tree where a bluebird is nesting (we also have nesting swallows, a flock of doves that hang around, great blue herons that fly overhead, and hummingbirds at the feeder)
Bluebells in bloom
Clementine Rose soaks in the morning sun on the back steps
