Misty Meadows Farm

The clouds were really pretty today against a gorgeous blue sky.

Happy Valentines Day everyone!

Wooly Worm folk lore…bad winter or mild?

I started gathering some seeds from the wildflowers this evening. I will gather more and let them dry out completely. Then, next summer I will sow them and hopefully enjoy beautiful wildflowers again next year.

I saw these on one of our oak trees this evening. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them before. They look fruit-like, but of course, oak trees don’t produce fruit (other than acorns). I had to Google to find out what they are. They are galls. Quite strange to me, actually. More info is in the comments below… if you’re as curious as I was. 😊

We have several Cherokee Purple tomatoes nearing ripeness. I’ll pull them off the vine and let them continue to ripen indoors if the weather turns too cold.
