Saturday on the Farm
Here’s more of a close-up. Trimming the bushes back really does work. It’s blooming again!
My new favorite flower this summer is the Zinnia. This is the first year that I have grown them. (shocking, I know!)
They are so pretty!
And the butterflies like them, too.
I have them in pots on the front porch. The Butterfly bush above is right off the porch. So it’s like a Butterfly playground out there. We can sit in the living room and see all kinds of butterflies outside the windows.
On the animal front, all is well. The male goat is in rut. Which is a good thing, except we should change his name to Stinky. lol Your alright, as long as you don’t get to close, or stand down wind of him. lol
Next week, I’ll have a picture update of our fall vegetable garden.
I have discontinued the Saturday on the Farm linky until the spring. If you have a garden or farm post that you would like to share, please leave it in the comments.

Beautiful photos! I love the butterfly one 🙂
It looks like life is wonderful on the farm Linda. We are finally getting below 70 at night, and I cannot wait to turn off that a/c.
I enjoyed your blog and most of all the lovely flowers. Your zinnias are lovely. I do not have much luck with them.
Hopping by from Italy for Outdoor Wednesday, what a surprise to find Zinnias, I grew some for the first time here this year.
What a cozy place and beautiful flowers… Have a great day!
