we finally made it to homer's farm saturday, but he wasn't there. seems we missed him by a half hour. oopsies! i know he has new bees and chickens, but we'll have to wait till he's there to get the full tour on the new farm critters. there wasn't much plantings to see quite yet, but i did spot some green tomatoes - yum! you might think it was a wasted trip, but there is always something wonderful to see in nature if you look hard enough. scroll to the bottom to see what exciting critters i found on this outing. :)
do you see why i am in love with yellow rocket? swoon!
maybe fried green tomatoes next week!
the bees were so very happy with the wildflowers growing in the as yet untilled land.
this beauty would not be still for my camera, but i am grateful to her nonetheless. without her i never would have spotted . . .
this guy! eeps! another hummingbird moth! my third lifetime sighting!
and then i chased this chubby butt around for a bit before leaving. i have developed quite a thing for bumblebees as well. this one had a different patterning than the usual suspects, so i wanted a photo for my collection.

how does your garden grow?"
I love seeing the bees busy in their work. That barn looks like it's got so much character and history.
ReplyDeletewhat a dream place!! loving the pictures also. so bright and happy
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love that tumbledown old barn, it's why I clicked through from HDYGG also nice to see what's currently growing in your corner of the world.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I read 'green tomatoes' I immediately thought of 'Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe'! This is just how I imagine America to be from watching films (and that's a good thing!)
ReplyDeleteLooks like paradise for bees and butterflies ...and delicious fried green tomatoes for us humans!
ReplyDeleteAwww looks at those pretty mini beasts! What a lovely place to visit =) #hdygg
ReplyDeleteVery pretty wild flowers and the busy bees are in their element it looks like! It looks like a place off a film set, it's intriguing.. :)
ReplyDeleteLove those shots of the barn and the insects. And that looked like a great walk through the countryside.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great looking barn, with heaps of character- and it seems lots of insects too. Looking forward to the tour when he's in! #hdygg
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a good size tomato for this time of year!! Great photos.
