We need to find meaning. We need to be useful. We need to know that who we are matters. I give, you give, we all give.
Winnie Nielsen says: What MaryJane’s Budget Mix looks like in the late Summer before the visit to the “Barron Milling” process! Love the look of fields of ripe wheat.
Winnie Nielsen says: What is incredible about this hummingbird photo is that it looks like it’s wings are still. I have never seen a hummingbird still. Amazing!
Cheryl bell says: Beautiful , I love the little bird and the colors
Terry Steinmetz says: Keep the pictures coming! Love them.
Jean G Hardner says: Hummingbirds do stay in one spot, to “watch”, to “preen”, to “savor” before they take off for another destination–feeder, flower, water fountain, a swing! There are times I’ll be feeling blue, look up, and one immediately appears at my feeder LOOKING DIRECTLY AT ME! I know it is an “Angel” sending me a message of love and confidence, believing it is truly my mom, twin sister, or dad. Instantly, I feel so much better, send up my Thank Yous, and go on with my day smiling and calm.
MaryJane says: Goodwill and love humming your way:)
Winnie Nielsen says: I don’t know what these flowers are but they are so delicate and beautiful. I love the deep blue purple with the white centers. All of these farm photos lately have been fun to see and enjoy. Thanks for sharing!

ooh another still hummer -what a wonderful artistic shot
One of my husband’s simplest pleasures is putting out the hummingbird feeders come summertime, watching, and photographing these amazing creatures. He has them hanging everywhere in the backyard which draw so many beautiful hummingbirds all summer long. They’re fairly brave little birds too! Yesterday my cat was sitting on the back of the loveseat next to an open screened window. A hummingbird flew right up to his face, and hung there looking at the cat for what seemed like forever. Needless to say the cat freaked and ran away. I wish I had captured it on video!
