The morning after

[vaneramos]

The morning after Brenda and Judy's wedding I was wakened by green frogs croaking in the nearby lake. Brenna and Marian were still asleep, so I left them in the tent and explored the property. It was a damp and misty dawn.



Judy, a farm girl, likes to grow vegetables. The flower beds are Brenda's.



I wandered down their long farm lane and along the gravel road.



Mullein and queen-anne's-lace bloomed on the verge of a roadside marsh.



By the time I got back to the house, other overnight guests were emerging from their rooms and tents. We had a breakfast of leftover ham, potato salad and dessert pastries. Judy and Brenda got the last two pieces of chocolate cheesecake.

One by one, the guests bid farewell and left the newlyweds to tidy their stone farmhouse.

Aren't photos taken in the early morning wonderful? I'm usually not awake enough to exploit that fact, but late afternoon, thankfully, is good too.

Apparently the leaves, when smoked, are a good decongestant. ;-)
