Shadow Shot Sunday...Farm style...

Lavender bails leave minute fragrant shadows
on a wall at Sisters' Garden, playing 'long side farm relics,
it's a vision I never tire of...

Corbels, ceiling tin and industrial light fixtures
frame a newly painted picture frame,
the paint glues the fancy designs to the surface
allowing the old patina to last for ages more...

Utilitarian farm tables and their brother shadows,
have us pondering their purpose,
but ever so charming in a country sorta way!

Bright country greens...
yes ,we are starved for the color of green
here in the Nor'lunds and as our temps plummet again,
Spring still alludes in Iowa...

Ever hopeful though, as the leaves they are returning
to the trees and those warm days will return...

...and I'll have more tall(rooster)tales and adventures from my
micro farm in Iowa, as I seek the good life,
simplicity and solitude...
Have a great weekend friends at our weekly shadow day
you can join here if you wish...
