Gotta love Summer!

Big Green Dragonfly that came to visit our deck this past weekend.


My nephew Jake (right) and his buddy snacking after playing outside.

We picked 23 pounds of blueberries yesterday!

Drew & Maria shuckin' corn for dinner-yummmm

My hoosier cabinet is almost complete!  I need a couple more hinges and drawer pulls, but I wanted to show you how it turned out so far!

Maria's first attempt at blueberry jam - it's so tasty and she is so proud of it!
Hope you enjoyed these glimpses of summer!

  4. You have saved my day! I woke up in a funk this morning, but you reminded me that I could go blueberry picking this morning.
    Maria's jam looks like she got it right on the first try! And your hoosier is spectacular! Have a great day. :)

  6. Hi Wendy, Sure wished you lived closer, Mr. P had so many blueberries this year and we don't even eat them. He picked some and shared with the older ladies from church. But that Jam sure looks yummy. Love the hooiser cabinet. I have one I had in house for years, then went with a china cabinet and I have been thinking about moving it back in. I know you will love it and it looks wonderful. School will be starting soon so enjoy the remainder of your summer.

  8. Great pics..we checked our berries the other day but they are at least another week from being ready. They do look bigger and fatter than last year so all the rain we had up till July and now all the heat must have done them good.
    Nice getting the snap of the dragonfly, they are camera shy when I'm around.
