Beautiful Weekend

What a beautiful weekend at Verde Farm.  We couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to spend summers' last hurrah.  The temperature was a comfortable 72 degrees with egg blue skies and white puffy clouds resembling down feathers. Here are a few pictures of this picturesque Labor Day weekend, courtesy of our friend, Angie Martin.

Pansy counting to 100 as the chickens rush to hide in the woods.

Samuel D. patiently waiting on his treat.

Elvis and Brownie finding some alone time.

Checkers getting some rest in the shade.

The tall cedars watching over the farm for many years.

The fish ready for a nibble.

Chestnuts getting ready to pop.

Enjoy.

Great pictures! I have never seen chestnuts with their furry little coat. That looks so neat.
I love all of your animals names.
I hope you have a lovely day.

Amy,
I'm so glad you visited my blog. I just love your farm! Can't wait to hear more about all the wonderful critters who reside there. And Pansy, who wouldn't fall in love with her? I can't wait to see the tales of all of Sunny's chicks. They are so cute once hatched - peeking out from mama's feathers.
Have a great day - can't wait to visit again.

Love the pictures.
Wish it was 72 here...will be 95 with the humidity feels like 100. (sigh)ready for fall.
I haven't seen chestnuts on a tree in years and years. It is wonderful you have a producing tree.

Have a great day.

Blue egg skies, love your description and all the wonderful photos. BTW, what type of Chestnuts are those? Here in New England, especially along the Maine coast Chestnut trees are abundant, however, their shell differs somewhat from yours. I do believe our's are the American Chestnut. Are your's edible?
