So many beautiful images: your booth looks amazing; flowers look gorgeous (sorry I missed them) and so many storks! Where are they going?
Glad your event was successful with visitors and with the weather. Best day of the year here today weather wise so I need to get outside!

Thanks for your kind words Lois!
As the farmer mows the grass the storks come with many to forage, (dead animals I am afraid) They don’t go anywhere, we have many storks living in the neighborhood. People place very high poles with nest for the birds on them in pastures and they even nest on roofs. I believe most of them grew up here in some “stork park” and forgot how to fly to Africa.

Your wildflowers are beautiful, Marion–our’s came to nothing but grass! We will have to do it differently next year…what did you use as seed, special packages?

The first year didn’t work out either Dawn. We have plowed a small piece of grass land. When the grass came up again I thinned it out. Then I have sown different types packages of seeds. Mostly wild flower seeds.
