It never quit to amaze me the beautiful colors that nature can paint throughout the seasons . Just a few brusk weeks ago , the sky were meet with dark glasses of grey and the farm was nearly underwater with heavy Cupid’s itch of everyday rainfall . And now – with a few weeks of Sunday and warmth – the plants and scenery are now bursting with people of colour .
We are in full harvest mode at the farm . The tomato and peppers have been ripen in full force – and the farm has come alive in the bright , beautiful colors that only Summer can provide .
With that enunciate – here is a trip around the farm in pictures from the first day of August !
