Grow Garden, Grow

Here's the small start of our summer bounty.

Red, ripening strawberries and thriving squash plants.

We've also got carrots and peas poking up.

Mmmm, I'm already hungry for zucchini bread and steamed yellow squash.

And check out these mayflies.

They plaster themselves to the east side of our house in the shade every evening.

They wouldn't bother me as much if they wouldn't land on me.

But I don't like being inspected by insects.

I was flicking them off right and left just trying to get this picture.

"Daddy, I look like a princess!"

              

 

Love dressing up my girl.

Got milk?

Popsicles and farmer tans

 

                                     


We have practically been living outside these past few days.

What's for breakfast?

9:06 AM

We're having warm cranberry orange muffins

and cheesy scrambled eggs.

Mmmm.

I love slow mornings.

Today, Abi's ensemble includes a pair of overalls with pirate shorts and a sun hat.

Thoughtfully put together by Jane.

Summer

Last week was insanely busy, hence the lack of posts.
I went to my parent's house to visit.
I went to my cousin's baby shower.
My kids "helped" my dad work on his new shop outside.
We made cookies and desserts for Father's Day.
We played with Legos and Lincoln Logs and dishes and Barbies.
And since we don't have TV at home, I spent an unreasonable amount of time watching TLC.


And now it's nice to be home.
And the weather.
Oh, the weather.
I think summer has finally decided to come.
There is not one day of rain predicted in the 10 day forecast.
Finally.
I think I might mow the lawn, and then we'll be in the pool.
