May was a long and busy month. Storage shed building contractors came and went. We had weekly vet, along with some human appointments. Brad attended a horse show, things went well. I stayed home to take care of our animals. Gardens and containers were planted. Watering and more watering were daily activities. Just to name a few things that kept us busy in May.
As for our land itself, our wooded paths turned into green tunnels with pesky ticks and other biters. Making me wish for Winter. Hiking was enjoyed sparingly. My mosquito net saved my face a couple times. These days it is clipped onto my pants loop, just incase.
Summer's heat arrived early. Our hay fields have grown long and dry. They are scheduled to be cut next week. We are finally getting much needed rain this week!

Brad sent me a photo of some blooms he spotted growing in a part of our land we don't frequent as much. I was SO surprised to see these transplanted iris thriving on their own in the sandiest part of our propertyl!!
They used to grow in the front bed of my previous home. I have a much smaller garden bed now and didn't have a spot for them to live. Our son has zero interest in gardening, so we took all the beds out. I saved and gave away whatever plants I could.
It is safe to say these Iris are very hardy!
