A Good Friday Feet on the Farm with John Deere
This is a very late version of Friday Feet today, but it’s technically still Friday. This late post is because We had an incredible, very humbling, Good Friday service today-tonight, (a post which will have to wait until tomorrow when I can get to the images). After finishing up a book review for Liberty this…

Most Beautiful Dogwood Blooms of any Recent Spring in Auburn
OK, so this will probably be the last post of the Spring showing our Dogwood bloom or our Wisteria, but I just love the colors so today it’s my Photo of the Day and my P365 :2012 photo [Day 114]. I don’t know if it’s all the rain we got over the winter or that I’m just…

The Spring Equinox Today with Spring is Coming to Zion :: Poem
Today is the first day of Spring (the Spring Equinox)! For some reason, a day I look more forward to each year, but this year, I wanted to commemorate the day with a poem. I make no claims whatsoever to be any kind of a decent poet (see prior attempts), but I do make attempts…

Southern Magnolia sieboldii Blooms in Early Spring
We have a tiny little Magnolia tree we planted about 3-4 years ago and all it does is bloom like crazy about this time of year. It never seems to grow or put out many leaves but the blooms are very pretty. It’s not the traditional Magnolia tree with the big waxy leaves, I’m pretty…

Early Spring Flower Blooms of Jasmine, Jonquil, and Daffodils
The photo of the day today comes from about 50 feet away from where I type this blog post. You can’t really tell from the shot but these little guys are about the size of my thumb, and while we don’t have a huge supply of Daffodils at our place we have a bunch of…

The backyard is a great place to take some photos of Spring in action. I took these photos last night after I got home from work and it shows the color of Spring can be found just about everywhere right now. The fist shot is the bud stem of the Wisteria plant which is almost…

Closeup Photos of Dogwood Blooms in Spring
I didn’t really think about it like that until this year, but life seems so fragile sometimes, even if we live out the average life span for this country, we will only see, or recognize, this time comes around 50-80 times on average, if we are lucky. I think the first 5-10 Spring season changes…

Cahaba or Shoals Spider Lily in Full Summer Bloom
We had a nice weekend of hot weather, but it finally started raining. We have been in such a drought that any rain at all is a welcome site. After the rain cleared out our unknown bulb started blooming, rapidly. We were given this and told it was a “4th of July plant” and it…

Red Double Knock Out Rose in Bloom in Summer
This week has gone by in a blink. Yesterday we planted 5 oak trees before breakfast trying to avoid the mid-morning heat and by about 10am it was to hot to do anything outside. I looked over at our rose bush today, a red Double Knockout Rose (or aka a Double Knock Out Rose) and…
