I sat down today to put something new on the blog to see how long it has been since I last posted! Whoa! I had put a lot of emphasis on actually living life this summer, and to be honest, I am so busy living it, I have not been here very often! Not for way over a month it appears!!! I have lots to share, in all sorts of different areas! However, for the moment I will pull a few things at random, and hopefully everyone will enjoy!
This year my sunflowers are all over 7ft tall! They have kept a great bee population around to keep everything pollenated, and productive!
Sad state of affairs, but this is all of the knitting that I have done this summer! This owl was for Ky's birthday, and it blended in on the shelf so well, I forgot it was there, and she received it a couple of days late!
Blueberry season is here! Hot, humid, hazy, and lots of berries this year! This picture is of a random field, and is looking pretty good! I did see some fields that were blue carpets, but I found myself without a camera, and a lot of farm equipment to navigate.
Went to the Gentlemen of the Road Concert this year. Mumford and Sons, and seven of their favorite bands. Heard music from 2pm till nearly 10pm! Awesome day! It was held in Portland, ME, on the Eastern Prom overlooking the harbor!
Kylie enjoying her grandmother's birthday clams! She ate a pound by herself!
Had fresh peas from the garden all July long! This was pretty exciting as most people's peas rotted in the ground this spring, due to it being extra wet, and had to replant. Second plantings had a difficult time in the heat! So, we thankful for this blessing!
Ky cooked dinner for me and herself, all by herself for the first time!
Little birthday present for me! It is still waiting for me to pick it up, and create! I am waiting until it is a bit cooler! Don't need sweat mixed in with the lovely smell of wool!
My sister loves sushi, so Ky tried sushi! She loved it! :) Thanks for the exposure to new things Auntie!
Bunnies have become big and fluffy, and even had their first hair cuts!!! I am not yet a "good hair cutter," so I am saving them from embarrassment by not showing the after pics! I promise to work on my technique!
Yup, I am a rooster! Started crowing last week! This picture is from about 3 weeks ago, and the girls and boy are bigger yet! Going to go have to snap some new pictures! He still needs a name!
Well, it seems that 12 chicken were not enough! I got three more! These are Barred Rocks, they are the chickens that I wanted in the first place, and could not get. I found them at the local feed store when going in for rabbit food! They are bigger now too, and my older girls accepted them into the flock with ease! Need names too!
Much fun, much action, family and friends = serious napping!
That's what I have for today!
Love and Blessings everyone!
