blogging in the summer

Blogging in the summer is hard for me, I usually resort to
lots of pictures. I just can't "think" as well or....deeply
when the weathers nice, when there's lots of yard work to do,family
to enjoy and resting up from it all. So my thoughts just kind of
float a way as the day to day take over.

Maybe this winter I'll be able to put two words together again!


I've spent the last three days with my two granddaughters Madalynn and Abigal. They put up the tent out back and slept there the last two nights. We had a nice fire and went on and on about how magical it is. We've eaten lots of sweet onion and sprout sandwiches(can't believe they like them too!)
picked and eaten peas,  worked on staining the deck and last night the girls watched "Little Women" for the first time. I love as we say our prayers on the food and they say thank you for being able to be at grandma's, it's so sweet and I feel like I'm doing something right.

    Being a Grandma is the most fun in the world - and you are a wonderful one!

    I know exactly what you mean about blogging - summer does make big demands on our time and we have other priorities, I feel the same.

    I'm awarding you a Gold Star for being you. xx

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
