    Open Farm Day was blessed with beautiful weather, there was a good turnout across Maine.  We had a great turnout here of gracious guests.  Bekah and Jay had lots of displays and activities planned.  Family was all here helping them.  Heather set up a flower bar.   The animals were on their best behavior.  One of the first guests was a handicapped little boy.  His mother let him get out of his chair and go into the pasture with Bekah.  Mabel gently took apple slices from his hand.  She acted like a little boy loudly mooing at her was an everyday occurance.  Bekah said that the boy's reactions and his family's pleasure made her day even if not many other people came.  A half hour later the yard was full of cars.  She was thankful she had lots of help guiding people around.  Lots of guys tried the hay toss.  The winner was the one who made the first toss. He is a regular customer.  Jay out tossed everyone but he didn't win the t-shirt, he was just showing how it's done!

     Saturday morning a pair of robins and a pair of catbirds ate all the ripe berries on the pagoda dogwood.  By the time the kingbirds came in the afternoon there weren't any.  The king birds were here at the crack of dawn this morning.  The dogwood tree is right out the kitchen window.  I think the hummingbirds must feed their babies lots of aphids when they are in the nest,  The fledglings are leaving the nests, the hummingbirds are coming back to the feeders.  There are lots of hummingbirds flitting through the flowers.

    May you day be blessed, Sally
