A peek into my day...
treating the chickens to some lettuce
your pictures add so much to your daybook. I enjoyed my visit! I am hoping the bugs leave me alone long enough to get something out of my garden to can. It has been a real fight so far, and it is early in the season.
ReplyDeleteWe have a garden too and love eating our own produce! Just had some squash, zucchini, onions, and potatoes from our garden tonight! Then we dipped up a bowl of ice cream and sat outside by the garden and enjoyed this unseasonably cool (In the eighties is cool here!) July evening!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfectly pleasant start to your day.
