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!!
