Spring Has Sprung!
April showers do bring May flowers! Carpe Diem Farms has “popped: with an array of flowers. The Bradford Pears have burst with a magnificent display. Each year they seem to be more beautiful than they year before. Their magnificence greets those who arrive from the front gate to my residence on the hill. More than 50 trees in all of God’s glory!
The horses are shedding the last of their winter coats and the grass is growing! The cool mornings give way to Carolina Blue sky days and the horses can be found grazing to their hearts’ delight.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that “Journey,” the spectacular Shire who joined the herd last April, celebrated his fourth birthday, April 16.
The farm hosted a party for him on the 18th, complete with an apple and carrot cake for him and his stablemates.
The human attendees, which included participants from the Boys and Girls Club of the Plateau, helped to blow out his candles on the yummy sheet cake! A variety of CDF friends and donors joined in the festivities. Pictures will appear in next month’s article.
I’m so excited to share that CDF has some special volunteers coming in July. One of my very best Florida friends from high school, whose family physician daughter and her husband have three boys, 16, 14 and 9, are coming in July for a whole week to be “farm hands.”
Their mom, Christie, has fond memories of times at Carpe Diem and wants to help create some for her boys too while “giving back.” It’s a new generation learning all about the magic and miracles of our magnificent herd and the farm while seeing the value of sharing their time and talents.
Blessings do abound here at Carpe Diem Farms!
