An Adventure. .

We LOVE adventures at our house. .

After much craziness and sickness Memorial weekend. .

And on a glorious evening with NO wind. .

We decided to do a little "pasture trip."

With our new trusty little golf cart. .

Explained to me as "a HECK of a deal!"

We found that the hillsides of our little grass pasture were more FULL of blooms than they had been a few weeks ago. .

Yellows, oranges, blues, pinks, white, and purples. .

And this year. .

lots and lots of GREEN!

The golf cart is such a quiet ride. .

so the peacefulness of the trip was maintained. .

UNTIL. .

the cart wouldn't restart after we stopped to take pictures. .

Guess who drew the straw to walk BACK to the house to get the 4-wheeler and jumper cables??

Yup. .

ME!

Can you see the golf cart way back there. .

NO??

Let me zoom in my 30x optical camera lens. .

There they are. .

waiting patiently. .

While I continued to take pictures and walk. .

I was totally ECSTATIC to find this. .

Wild blue indigo growing in our pasture. .

I have NEVER seen it in our part of the country. .

And so I ordered a few of them from High Country gardens. .

2 of which are still surviving, but not blooming yet!

There were a good number of plants blooming down in the bottoms of the hills. .

but none that I could see from the driveway!

They were my favorite wildflower from childhood. .

I recall picking bouquets with them in it with my mom. .

and they lasted a long time!!

Since I rarely wear anything around the house but flip flops. .

I was SURE glad I spied THIS little guy before I found him with my toes!!

It's amazing that cactus AND wildflowers can thrive in the same acreage of vegetation!!

But they do!

Aren't God's creations magnificent!!

Hope you have a BLESSED Monday. .

And be sure and stop back by this week. .

The remodel is DONE. .

And the proof. .

is in the pictures!!
