We had to run to my parents’ place {they have 40 acres of farm land and a pond by their home}, so I begged Eugene to let me bring the pup with us. I grabbed my girl, the pup, and my camera and we headed out to enjoy a little piece of nature together.
My parents have planted some fruit trees. Apples…
Cherries…
Peaches…
They also have a few grape vines…
Isn’t it amazing how tiny vines can curl so tightly on their own…
There’s one tree that kind of sits near the back center of the 40 acres, affectionately called the lone oak…
When we got married on this land, I specifically asked our photographer to capture us with the lone oak in the background, and it’s one of my absolute favorite photos…
Okay, back to reality. The pup LOVES the pond. He loves swimming, chasing, diving, and running. He is in doggy heaven when we take him to my parents…
The little one isn’t so sure about large areas of water – pool, pond – not a fan.
Eventually she warmed up to it, and even ventured to squeeze some mud through her fingers. {The girl loves anything gooey.}
They had a little patch of wheat that had yet to be harvested, so I snapped a pic. I love wheat {you can see why from the photo from my wedding day above and read a hint of it here.}
Lastly, I snapped a few pics of bees & lavender on our way back inside. My parents keep bees {I’ve mentioned it here & here before.}
The little one loves being outside. And I love that she loves being surrounded by God’s creation, in pure beautiful nature. That makes my heart full.

Wow, your parents have it all! Their farm looks amazing. Love all the pictures!
