Straight from the garden. Their mommy plants and tends an amazing garden.
We were able to see these two on Sunday afternoon. So good to have them run to us with open arms and lots of hugs. As we leave they run along the fence line following our car and we yell our goodbyes to each other. They are safe on the inside of the fence and our car goes along the drive on the other side of the fence. Fun traditions.
Adios to August!
When you live in the country you have to put fences up around your garden so that you can enjoy the bounty instead of the deer and other wildlife. Our son built this fence for his soon to be wife. Jamie’s Garden is producing some great vegetables already. If the deer could read the sign they would know they are not welcome in Jamie’s Garden.
I see lots of fresh salads and salsa in their future!
I’m linking up to Signs, signs with Lesley and to Good Fences #63 with TexWisGirl!
Gotta love a guy that will paint for you after he’s put in a full day of hard work in the office. Did I mention he was dodging rain drops?
It wasn’t raining hard enough to bother the newly painted wall since it’s pretty well protected by the overhang.
I also bought a few more plants to add to the deck. The planters that could also be used as large candle holders were on clearance at 75% off.
This white hydrangea was calling my name, too. I have to decide now where to plant it. I was happy that the weather cooperated for me this morning and I was able to get the lawn mowed. We’re promised rain again on Tuesday and then they say we could have good weather for the 4th.
Tuesday is shopping day for the food for our 4th of July barbecue.
We have had some fun and fulfilling days this week with family and friends. Yesterday we headed to Dave and Jody’s house in Edmonds overlooking the Sound for swimming and food.
I had a little stroll about Jody’s garden and watched the bees enjoying it.
Finn charmed us with his cuteness. At one point in the evening, when no one was watching, Finn went into the bathroom and had fun with lots of toilet paper and grandmother’s lipstick!
We met and held sweet little Josee (pronounced JoeZay). She is 2 weeks old.
We also met for the first time, sweet Juliet, who is 4 weeks old and Josee’s cousin.
As if with all this sweetness we needed the desserts I brought (Recipes to follow soon)
Creamy Cheesecake
and
Fruit Pizza (thanks Bernideen for the recipe) The recipe will make 2 round medium size pizza’s. I chose to do 1 large rectangular one.
Dave and Jody served Soft Fish Tacos made with barbecued Tilapia (Yummy) and Jan brought fruit. We always eat well when we get together.
The Sun going down beyond the Olympic Mountains on the Olympic Penninsula. Thank you Dave and Jody for another wonderful time in your company!
Besides all this fun the guys have been busy, busy, working on our continuing basement project. I love it when my 3 guys are together working, laughing and just hanging out…

Time flies when you’re having fun.
