Summertime.....

   Ahhhh the summertime seems to be flying away!!!! Our gardens, due to the weather, went in later than normal this year (in June). We fought a late cold snap and rain..but...got them in...

We've taken off just to drive...wherever we wanted! Back roads, highways and tiny dots on the map. 

We've tried new recipes and canned up some goodies (this pic: my husband's  first time making Cherry Jam)

We've played in the creeks, dug worms, caught lightening bugs, found snakes and enjoyed the dirt/water/mud between our toes.

We've had gorgeous fireworks for the 4th, went to local festivals....

we've watched beautiful creatures..

we've tried new recipes, baked bread, gathered garden goodies

We've explored places we've been to a million times (and found something new) and new places along the way...

We've had big  family get togethers down home, family bday parties and a housewarming
