Summer

We are so richly blessed! Can I just say again how much I love living here enjoying God's beauty all around me. Thank you Lord for taking me out of cement city.

Here are some pictures of our land to enjoy...Crepe Myrtles that line the north end of our property. I have so been looking forward to these beauty's bloom, and they have not disappointed me!Tomato plants that are much bigger than the last seedlings I posted. They are barely producing thus far, and I do not have much hope that the birds and insects will get to them before us. We'll see?
Pepper plants looking good...
Fig tree...looking forward to making preserves! It has a TON of figs on it so far.
Sunflowers, there are a few in our garden that spread from last year. They had huge flowers last summer, so wondering if they'll get bigger as the summer goes by?
Trumpet vine. Yes, that big tree looking thing is a vine, and we have them all over our property! I think they are native to this city we are in because I have seen them all over the place. They are pretty, have beautiful blooms, but very invasive. They are even popping up in my flower beds, garden, and middle of the yard. Crazy :)
The front of our house with the pictures I posted last still does not look very different. Some bug ate all my oregano, so there are just tall stalks of it by the door. And the bulbs I planted in the spring did not come out, besides a few caladiums in front of the boys windows. I'm going to have to re-think landscaping this fall for the front for sure.

Well I'm truly hoping to find time to really write more often. I have a ton of things on my "to write" list, that are more substantial than what I have done lately, but to find the time and energy? Bless you who come here, I hope that you would be filled to the brim by the love of Jesus today.
