first haying-6735

Glenn Merrill, a pleasant young guy doing the mowing here, finally stopped near me, popped open the cabin door, and said “You must really like tractors!”

At that point, he had been around the field five times or so since I arrived and started photographing.

“Well it’s more the first haying of the season..”

The unofficial start of Summer.

old barn, new garden-7042

This barn looks even better today than in 2007 when I took this picture. It’s been freshened up with red paint, and looks, well, 30 years younger and even more photogenic. The garden – from a distance anyway – looks like it’s just been marking time over the years.

mother's day-6997

For all mothers near and far, for the hard work and sacrifice that allows the love in this universe to flow through you to your children, day in and day out. May there be many gifts received in turn!

In the Buddhist tradition, which recognizes the continual repetitive cycle of birth and death in this existence, it is said: “Of all the beings in samsara (existence), there is not a single one who has not been your own kind mother.” (Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche in Skillful Grace, p 49)

And of course for my Mamusiu, Josephine Reczek (1913-2006), with love and an ever deepening appreciation.
