Summer Retreat

This is my little summer retreat. It is in the back yard in a little corner under a big maple tree. I love it! It is so pleasant and stays nice and cool.

I made a little cover for the hammock by sewing pieces of two sheets together and adding some ties to the edges so I could tie it in place on the hammock. The rope of the hammock can be a little uncomfortable on your skin, mainly on my arms. The cover is much softer and kinda cute I think!

I made a little bag to mach that I can tie on to hold my phone, sunglasses, or whatever. The cover fits inside when it is all folded up.

This is the "junk" my Love accused me of dragging into the yard, but I like it.

What is your favorite summer retreat???

Some galvanized tubs, an old shutter, an old fence post, watering can, and some flowers.

This is my view.

Along with this view of the barn!

As you can tell I have been enjoying my summer!
How have you been enjoying your summer?? Would love to know!!

Busy Summer Time

The past week was so busy and it isn't slowing down anytime soon. It seems like everything in the garden comes in at once, visits with friends and family, mowing grass finally after the mower was broke for over a week. It all needs to be done at the same time. However, I enjoyed all of it. So here are a few pictures from my week...
Green beans
Corn

zucchini bread

Spent a day with my love at a dairy that is about 40 minutes away. They were having a vintage truck show!! Which my lover enjoyed!!

This is the truck my lover liked. Go big or go home...that's his motto!


Pretty cool jeep truck.

I decided that this could be my daily driver. It was sweet! We have a thing for trucks around our house. We love them!

And you can't go to a dairy without getting ICE CREAM!!! This has been my weakness this summer. I got one scoop of cookies and cream and it was the equivalent of three scoops! It was so yummy! Yeah I ate it all!

In between all that I visited with my friend from out of town, spent the day with my sissy, we went to IKEA for my first time....wow....what a great week!

This week I started back to work and canned more beans today!! I love canning! I have a bushel of peaches ripening up. Does anyone have any good peach recipes?? I would love to hear about them!
