May is finally here. In Wisconsin, May IS springtime. It's when everything comes to life again after the long winter. March is only a name on a calendar, certainly not springtime. April is just a tease, but May is seriously ushering us into summer. Sunday afternoon was brilliant, with its blue skies, puffy white clouds, and grass growing so fast that Mr. C. was out mowing. I love this time of year.
Right now the woods is carpeted with May flowers!

All of these pictures were taken within a few miles of our farm.
This is one of my favorite farms on Highway O. I see it every time I go to Rice Lake, and I love it when their cows are put out on pasture after the interminable winter is finally over.
We will be in the Kickapoo Valley of Wisconsin for a bit of this week, so I don't know if I will get another blog post in or not. We'll see how it goes. I will most likely miss Joyce's Hodgepodge on Wednesday, always a fun challenge. But of course there's always Instagram, which is easy and fast and more portable. So if you like to follow the photos of Wisconsin, I should be posting some on there while I'm gone. If you're not on Instagram, I think you can view them on my sidebar.
I hope you all have a wonderful week and sunny skies.

At some point, I will hopefully get this post linked to Theresa's Good Fences and Tom's Barn Collective.

Judy, such a welcome post this morning. Love those barns and brings back memories of Illinois.
Hello, Judy! wonderful post from Wisconsin. I love the barns and farm land. The cattle scene is one of my favorites, along with the cute sheep. The May flowers are lovely. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
It's nice to see the grass is green again and I love those tiny blue flowers! Welcome spring!
Wow those May flowers! It seems you never run out of barns to show. Love seeing them all and the hobby barn is as cute as can be!
Great photos! I love seeing the cattle. Enjoy your trip and time away!
be sure to kick up your heels in Kickapoo... and have fun... i love the first photo. it looks like an arrangement. the barn, the silo and the tree all in the perfect spot for the photo. the other barn and trees, wonder what happened to half the tree by the silo... i am thinking photoshop it. HA HA...
Mmm, no wonder those cows are happy and contented -- that grass is beautiful green and tall. Wonderful. The little blue flowers are wonderful and of course I love the barns.
Beautiful photos as always my Dear!! Don't we live in beautiful country? ;) And such Springyness (that's a technical term I'm sure) showing up everywhere!! Love it!!
Your photos always makes me want a hobby farm. But I guess I get a bay. We can't have it all, right?
Blessings. xoxo
I love these spring photos Judy. I guess the season is in full swing there now. The pic of the cows is wonderful to see. Still cool here and this week is unsettled. Enjoy your little trip and the lovely spring weather. Blessings, Pam
Fantastic photos of rural scenes. The Holesteins in the field brought back wonderful memories.
It's been snowy and rainy here, so I'm excited for May to start bringing some Springtime conditions.
love the red barns against the blue sky - and great fence shots, too. :)
I love these peaceful farm scenes and those flowers are the perfect shade of blue.
Nice photos! Enjoy your time away.
Cud chewing contented cows pic . . . a keeper . . . Loved it!
Your area is so lovely, Judy! I love every photo and your header is stunning! Enjoy your beautiful May! ♥
