My Wisconsin Neighborhood and a Triple Crown Winner

'...and don't come back!!'

A sassy red winged blackbird that was annoyed with us for enjoying a late-afternoon walk past his territory. He wasn't shy about voicing his opinion.

Good morning, friends. This morning I'm sharing some photos from the weekend. We had a couple long rains in between the sunny days, so the gardens in the area are doing great. We attended a beautiful wedding on Saturday and a great concert at our church on Sunday. In between, we got a couple nice walks in. Farmers are scrambling to plant the last of the crops.


On Fifth Avenue
Poplars, ferns, and a lone horse?
The ferns are especially for Sandra (MadSnapper)

This is the time of year when any fields that aren't already planted are worked from early morning until late at night. Eager to get the soybeans in, presumably. It's way too late for a corn crop.


Our high bush cranberry, or rather, what it will look like in another month or two.
Right now the cedar waxwings are eating the berries leftover from last year's crop.

Irises, including a lovely gift of iris and hosta leaves (great idea!) in a darling sheep glass
from Carla of The River Flowing blog.
She knows I like love sheep! :-)


Way to go, American Pharaoh!!!!!
I am so thrilled with Saturday's Belmont Stakes.
It's about time we have another Triple Crown Winner!

Do you know how long it took me to remember the RIGHT way to spell 'pharaoh'???
What were they thinking.
I guess it can be spelled any way they want. He's one terrific horse!
