Cherries

Once again, I have the most wonderful opportunity to pick the cherries in my back yard!! In the Northwest we enjoy any fruit that is possible to grow. Unlike those of you in the warmer climates that enjoy fruit all the time. My cherry tree has 4 different kinds of cherries grafted in. The only problem is I can't remember which branch is what. But we just put it all together and it makes for a delicious cherry cobbler!!!

The Sounds of Summer

When I was a child and my growing up days, for sure, summer was my favorite time. When I reflect as to why, (besides the obvious)I really think it was the sounds and smells that summer brings. We now live in air-conditioned houses, sprinklers systems that go on at 4:00 am in the morning, and landscape companies that take care of the lawn. Well, for us we do have the air-conditioning but the other two we do not have. :)I think the sound of the sprinkler, the sound of the lawn mower, the neighbors talking out on their front porch, we miss all of this because we are in our tight little house, free of summer. So today I chose to open the front door and listen to the sprinkler and the neighbors lawn mower. You may think me crazy but this is the part of summer that I really enjoy!!!

Getting Away Pics

OK, so I haven't posted in awhile :{ but we had the opportunity to go stay at a beach house and relax for a week!! No wifi, just books and the beautiful water to look at. What more can I say it was absolutely wonderful!!! I will include some pics in a little while. This is a busy time of year for me, I love to work in the garden and yard work. So....when I have a spare moment I usually end up outside.
