An Afternoon On The Farm

My friend Gerit lives on a tiny farm in the neighboring village. The sun was shining, there was the most refreshing breeze, and Rafael and I wanted to see chickens and ducks. So it was off to the little farm!


Flowering apple trees, a little white duck in the lush green grass, and a church tower in the back. Truly a piece of paradise.


A farm girl's work is never done. Gerit lugs water from the stream to water her vegetable garden and keep the ducks and chickens hydrated.


I was so excited to show Rafael the chicken coop, where there were light blue and white eggs tucked into the hay and feathers.


Gerit made us delicious oatmeal muffins baked in glass jars and a sweet topfen with dandelion petals and streaks of sandthorn oil. We sat in her yard, surrounded by hundred-year-old trees, and enjoyed the sound of wind through branches and birds singing.




Hope your Sunday was beautiful!

P.S. You can see more of my visits to Gerit's lovely little farm in this old post, and this old post.
