Whew…let me catch my breath long enough to do what will probably be more of a photo post than anything.
Folks, summer is here. The temps are scorching, the garden is IN, and the summer festivities (Youth Camp, anyone?) are upon us.
My posting may be a bit scarce over this summer, regretfully. I think the garden will be the main reason. I normally blog in the early mornings and I’m afraid that during that time, I will be pickin’ and grinning.
Here are a few things we have been doing:
Horseback riding…Erin and her ‘boyfriend’/cousin, Blake…take note that he became her boyfriend after he rode her on his horse…. More…..
Erin & Evan…
Emory was a bit nervous…I think the older we get, the more nervous we get…
Daddy trying to coax Ella…. :)
Aren’t they beautiful?
They are in the pasture right behind my in-laws house.
More Summer things….
After some Berry Pickin’
Helping Mama de-stem the Mulberries…
Fresh Mulberries! Ready for jam…
All Crushed…I made 2 pints and 1 half-pint jar full of Mulberry jam. It is delicious! I picked more today…
Cute Kids ready for YOUTH CAMP!! :)

I hope you will stop by for a visit this summer! I love to hear from each of you and visit your blogs. Today is Sunday and I must rest (husband’s orders…:o) and recuperate from a week of Youth Camp late hours!
Later, Tater! :) (Sorry, but I’ve sure been digging a lot of potatoes….it’s affecting my speech even. :)
Looks like a great time. We have our small garden in now to,I have been busy working on the old flower gardens getting them back up to where they should be. Lots of work but very worth it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like pure summer and camps are coming for us. Ethan (My oldest gets to go as a camper for the fisr time) we usually go to work.
ReplyDeleteSummer IS a busy time, especially when ya live in the country! I'm still fighting a sticky kitchen after all that FRUIT last week!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you and yours are having a good (and busy) time in the garden. Loved the pics of the horses... such a pretty area you live in. It's still GREEN (not so in Texas)!
Happy Summer, mama!
