High summer brings every shade of yellow to the farm…
From the blossoms to the pollinators, the babes to our Matriarch goat’s eyes 🙂
It speaks of sunshine embodied and whispers of the beauty peaking from every corner…
It reminds us that medicine, whether cultivated or wild foraged, is all around us.
Yellow butterfly on Bindweed | Goldenrod | Chamomile
Calendula Resina
Muscovy duckling | Mullein
Bumble Bee | Elecampane
Feverfew | Mexican Hat
Cota/Navajo/Green Thread | Gumweed
Yellow isn’t flashy like the reds and purples of late Summer or the bright oranges of Autumn, but it’s richness cannot be denied.
Last, but definitely not least, I’ll leave you with Mama, our herd Matriarch, coming in from the field tonight. Her resilient spirit and golden eyes will never not astonish me 🙂
Wishing you a glorious weekend ahead! Take time to notice the yellow bits around you, OK? There’s magic in their glow.
Onward,
Melissa
P.S.
This song has been playing on repeat in my head this week. It’s not new, but it’s on theme 😉
Oh, I felt a release
And I feel, yellow becoming me
Oh oh, standing on this wire
Makes me realize I am alive
And I won’t settle

All the photographs you shared are lovely, but I love the “Bumble Bee | Elecampane” picture.
I hope you have a lovely weekend, Melissa. Thanks for sharing this post.
Thanks, Shari! Bumble butts are just the best, aren’t they?
Wonderfully sunny yellows! All the photos show off the colour beautifully, but the bumblebee steals the show for me 🐝🐝
I think it’s my favorite as well 🙂 Lucky shot!
I hope your weekend is wonderful! Thank you for all the yellow 🙂
Lovely photos. Sweet duckling.
Gorgeous photos! I saw my first sunflower of the season yesterday.
First flowers are such a lovely way to mark time <3 Hope you're enjoying a great week, Joy!
I am in love with that baby duckling! Yellow is such a colour, it’s my mom’s favorite and it brings me so much joy, I loved all of the pictures you shared 💛.
Also, great song I’ve never heard it before but I enjoyed it. Sadly the sky here is very yellow today due to the terrible air quality because of wildfires 🙁 So I’ll just enjoy your yellow flowers instead 🙂 !
I’m so glad to hear how yellow brings you so much joy! Please stay safe from that awful air! It’s such a hard time of year with smoke everywhere 🙁 I hope the sky shows itself to you soon 🙂
I loved seeing all the beautiful yellows! The bumblebee photo, especially. So many of these flowers are new to me too, I took a few minutes to zoom in and notice details haha. Thank you for sharing 🙂
