There’s nothing better than going to a photo shoot and discovering that talented models are coming out of the woodwork. Or, in this case, the fields!

This week’s Share Your World questions, from Cee’s Life Photography, include: 1. Do you believe in ghosts? — No, I really don’t believe in ghosts, but I’m not so close-minded that I couldn’t be convinced otherwise if I happened to have a believable experience. 2. What is your best recipe? — I’m not the best in the kitchen, but I do have a few useful recipes that I’ve adapted over the years. One of my current favorites is a very […]

While this ripened stalk of grass may be beautiful to you, it’s an ugly reminder to me. You see, this is what’s happened to our lawn over the past two weeks.

So, after about 15 minutes I got up from my vantage point and took a […]

Since no one in our family is terribly fond of the weed trimmer—and we’ve all been quite busy in the past month—the grasses and weeds have taken advantage of the situation. I actually came close to cutting it all down today when I mowed the lawn, but then I drove in the driveway this evening and glanced over. The golden beams of the setting sun were glinting on the ripened grasses, […]

You know spring is firmly ensconced when the first cutting takes place. Today, on my morning drive I passed several farms in the process, and I made sure to put my windows down to inhale the clean scent of newly mown grass. Many years ago, I worked on a farm that produced thousands of bales of hay per season. I don’t remember ever being as fit as I was then, not only throwing bales from the field onto the trailer […]
