The Beautiful Blooms and Plants of Spring on the Farm

This is a special edition of Out Standing in the Field for all those who are quarantined in the cities or towns. For all those who are stuck inside. We feel for you with your glass, metal, cement and processed air. This is just an “I hope this makes you feel better” letter to give you a look into the farm growing and blooming in the spring. Consider this your own personal bunch of flowers to enjoy just because they are beautiful.
We will give you pics here of the plants growing and flowers blooming around the farm. We want to share the crisp green grass, budding trees and blooming flowers with you. We thought it was selfish of us to keep all this beauty and color to ourselves when there are so many people that would like to see something new and living. We hope you enjoy this picture procession and hope it gives you a little happy for your day.

We sincerely hope you have enjoyed this little splash of color to brighten your day. Hopefully, it will make your “social distancing” a bit less solitary. Please remember there are people all over the world in the same place you are and we are all hoping this will resolve soon so we can have a huge celebration of life after this long stretch of isolation.

Thank you for visiting and please come again for another edition of Out Standing in the Field.
