Let's stop and smell the roses

It is easy to get caught up in our barn and pool project. We thought it would be nice, however, to stop and appreciate our little stream and paths in the wetlands and by Crum Creek. The Monarda are in full bloom, and pretty spctacular. Here are three views of our stream out by the road. Walking toward the back, there is a clump of day lilies by the pond that the deer have missed. Turning around from that spot, the barn is up the rise. Back along Crum Creek, our wetlands glisten in the sun, and some of the bee-balm we recently transplanted to along the path seem to be doing well. And finally, it is always a good idea to stop and smell the roses. ... from a beautiful, sunny day in July.
