summer bounty
In the upper horse pasture, there’s a large compost pile that (I think) was placed up there last fall. This summer it burst forth with an abundance of large sunflowers and gangly squash-type plants. It’s a gorgeous sight to come upon this colorful mound after walking up the hill.
We went exploring up there this morning, hoping to find zucchini to bring to potluck. No zucchini, but we did pick this large gourd that now provides a nice centerpiece for our table.
While walking in the field, we also noticed an abundance of butterflies and dragonflies. Tough to photograph, but here’s one I managed to catch.
