The chilly weather we have been having is helping make the flowers last longer. The pink Lilac and Beauty Bush are still blooming and attracting Tiger Swallowtails, White Admirals and the Hummingbird Moth. I was lucky to see two male Baltimore Orioles fighting yesterday... if only we could all just get along... I imagined that maybe one is a widow trying to take over our resident male's territory and nest. There is so much going on out in the gardens! Today is Garden Bloggers Bloom Day for June... gardeners from all over the world will post what is blooming in their gardens... thanks to Carol for hosting over at at http://maydreamsgardens.blogspot.com/ .

For thirty years, I have been farming/gardening, observing and documenting a twenty-acre New England hillside paradise, which includes organic wildly cultivated rambling gardens, fields of wildflowers and organic blueberries, forest, fabulous views and expanse of sky. My greatest joy in working with the land is seeing how my farm has evolved into a habitat . . . home to a diverse community of wildlife. My blog is a journal of all the comings and goings of the flora and fauna here. All the photographs featured are taken at Flower Hill Farm ~ unless noted otherwise.
