Something to share

Here is a great post  I think every Christian women should read!!! Its on modesty, something I think is taken way to lightly these days!!

On a brighter note, here is my new obsession....thermoses!!!

I love the plaids!



Ty's Birthday

I didn't realize how behind I was on blogging until I went through my pictures and came accross Ty's Birthday! It was over 3 weeks ago!

Here's a little peek...

Every boy needs a fishing pole!

It was an enjoyable evening!

Where to start...Weekend Trip

I have so many things to say but don't know where to begin! We have been busy in our neck of the woods. I have a ton of pictures to share and a few fun things as well.

So, I will start with a little trip we took a few weeks ago!

We went to Dale Hollow, a lake in Tennessee. We stayed in a friends cabin and had a very relaxing weekend.

It rained most of the time but that was ok with me! 

We sat on the porch and listened to the rain and I read a book!

We spent one day exploring a little town close by. It had a few good antique stores and we enjoyed lunch at a local diner.

There were several neat old buildings in the town square!

This one use to be the bank.

It was a great weekend with my Love!

He is so much fun to be with!



Summer Bounty

Summer is in full swing and  I am loving it!! The heat wave has passed and it has been pleasantly in the 80's this week.

Last week I spent most of my days in the cooler inside canning peaches!

We have peaches in light syrup and peach jam!! Its a lot of work but so fun when you are all done!!

Today i'm making zucchini bread! It is super moist due to crushed pinapple and very yummy I might add!

Have a beautiful day!



Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July!!!

Here is my favorite patriotic decoration....

I love it!



Have a great day everyone!!

Just a Quick Hello

Hello Friends, how is your week going?

We have been busy around here. I am helped out with a kids camp at church in the mornings last week and then the regular house stuff in the afternoons.

It has been beautiful weather here. However, we have had a few days of 100 degrees!!!

 This wonderful old farm house doesn't have central air. Only a window unit in our bedroom, so that might be where I hang out. We'll see.

The garden is doing great and all of my flowers are doing good. I just have to stay on top of watering them everyday.

I just wanted to say hello and wish you a blessed day!



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!!
