Tramping

Do any of you know what that means right off?  To me it means a beautiful day of some form or other, when the sun calls and the weather is warm, and there isn’t anything to keep you from going out.   If you live in a rural area like I do, it means walking through fields, crossings fences, wading streams;  just… tramping.  There is an old homestead place a couple of fields away from here that is surrounded by a field full of daffodils.   No exaggeration.  Take a look, it is a gorgeous place; the ground falls away behind the house to a creek.  This is looking from the creek up the rise.

The creek, daffodils, old stumps, everything was just so beautiful!  The small hung up tree was 10 feet above the water.  ”Lord willing, and the creeks don’t rise… “

The maples are blooming, and the other trees are pushing buds.  Warm weather to stay, is just around the corner.  I’m so glad!

The old barn is built over top of what I suppose is the first cabin/house of the homestead.  The log walls are so beautiful, and you can see one of the doors through a crack in the barn siding.  I love old things.
