Our company was leaving in the afternoon and after a big late breakfast … we had just enough time to give them a tour of the organic farm across the street.
.
.
It’s wonderful having fresh veggies so close .
.
.
But the flowers are a nice new addition.
.
.
Everything was green and lush.
.
.
And blooming profusely.
.
.
Yes, even the kale looked healthy.
🤢
.
.
Being a good neighbor… I didn’t pick a free berry. Though honestly, it was tempting.
.
.
We strolled and chatted and took pictures.
.
.
And even caught a glimpse of the man cave/ Barn Mahal in the distance.
.
.
So much works goes into running a farm.
.
.
Day in, day out. Something always needs to be tilled, weeded, watered or harvested.
.
.
This is our contractor’s boat.
.
.
He’s a friend of our neighbor and is allowed free storage.
.
.
Not sure you can see it in this photo…
.
.
But I thought this was a bizarre staggered bloom flower. Very tall.
.
.
A few more pictures…
.
.
A few more blooms…
.
.
And we headed back across the street…
.
.
For one more picture before we loaded up the car and took our favorite people to the airport.
.
.
Past a lovely stone church…
.
.
With fabulous front doors.
.
.
And this silly sign that always makes me laugh.
.
.
Then the airport, where I had a good cry when we had to let them leave.
.
.
Family isn’t always defined by blood.
Sometimes you choose.
And we chose well.

How long ago was this visit? I’m thinking it’s been awhile if there were still fresh raspberries just screaming to be plucked.

(I would’ve been unable to resist eating at least one of those berries.)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the farm across the street. I love it, I wish I had a green enough thumb to grow things like that. Even KALE! Which to me doesn’t taste like anything but we all have our own dislikes of certain food. But I know you are like me, adverse to cilantro, bleh! Its never easy to say goodbye to those your care so much about, but it seems y’all had a great time! As for his wife not liking the cold, she just has to wait until menopause hits and they might move up there before you know it! lmao

It’s hard to say goodbye when the visits are that good.
The flowers are amazing—-I’d be so tempted to pick some for a vase.
