Rainy Summer Days

We have been going through a bit of a rainy period these past couple of weeks.  With a few sunny days mixed it, we truly soak them up.

Some things I'm loving right now : :
Sunny evening dinners, loving the new Taproot Issue!!

The Peach blossoms that are now teeny tiny peaches.....peaches that we have to pick off.  Until next year, when the trees will have roots enough to support the growth.

The garden - which looks soooo different now then when this photo was taken.  What a difference a few weeks make!  Peas on the left, Beans on the right.

Our Strawberry patch, which i am super excited about.  I picked our first ripe berries on Wednesday morning, it felt like summer is finally here!  While i was busy searching through the bushes to find the ripe berries, i looked up and saw charlie, right.in.the.patch, smacking away at the fruit.  Boy loves his berries.  Looks like we'll have to keep a close eye on him!

The various farm/tractor tools and equipment we have acquired over the past two years....we certainly need a barn next.  But wait, we are building a sugar house now....i guess that will have to wait!
An evening thunderstorm rolling in.

Our colorful tomato cages we purchased this year.  Makes me smile every time i see them :)


My first stargazer lily opened up.  Bliss.

My boy, my lovie.
In the spring of 2012, a mama bird built a nest on our front porch rafters.  Little baby birds woke us up every morning with their sweet songs, then evacuated the nest as they were ready.  Hubs and i wondered if she would be back again this spring, and sure enough, she has three little babies up there.  I was able to capture them a little this year.  I have noticed over the past couple of days that they are getting their little wings ready for flight....Its interesting because everything will be still, and then one will violently flap their wings for a good 10 seconds before settling down again.  The cycle of life is truly beautiful.


Have a great weekend friends!
