That's me...
one happy farm gal...
with a colander full of spinach, asparagus and lettuce,
and a bouquet of radishes.
We have been treated to a string of the most perfect summer days you could ever imagine!
Temps are in the 70's with low humidity...
clear blue skies with an occasional puffy cloud.
We are all enjoying this time.
Gardening and mowing are a joy in this weather.
Remember how sad I was about my frozen strawberry blossoms?
Well, these miraculous little plants pushed out new blossoms,
and berries are starting to ripen.
Our harvest will be late this year, but I suspect it will be decent.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
With daily watering, the garden is bestowing a bountiful harvest upon us.
So fresh, so yummy, so good-for-you!
Even the rose bushes are happy...
with sweet little blossoms turning their delicate faces sun-ward.
The newly moved hens are all doing great...
and are always more than willing to line up for a photo shoot!
Although these black and white beauties look like Barred Rocks,
they are actually Cuckoo Marans... very sweet natured chocolate brown egg layers.
The turkeys took their move to the old henhouse by the barn in stride.
They continue to follow me around...
always my supervisors.
Now, if only this weather would last for the entire summer.
But then, we would be living in San Diego, and not here in Central Pa.
No, the weather is bound to get much hotter and much more humid.
So, I will enjoy these days while they last!
Hope you are enjoying this time of year as well... wherever you are!

Loved your "farmer look" with a bowl full of fresh asparagus, lettuce and a handfull of radishes. Fruits of some planning and labor.
I think one more day of glorious weather and my major edging, weeding, splitting, replanting will be completed. All ready for me to start at the beginning again for more weeding.
Love, love LOVE this perfect weather!
Love the Farmer Bev photo!
Isn't it a wonderful feeling and sense of accomplishment when you're seeing the gardens come to life and you're picking and having fresh vegetables for dinner?! Love it!
Enjoy!

Your bounty is on the way.
We just got some of that lovely divine weather you are having. It is truly my favorite and I am feeling so blessed...and happy even. Who would have thought.
As I worked in the yard, clothes hanging on the line, chickens pecking away for treats, I stopped to count my blessing...how much I love the simple life. Thanks, for helping me find the way.
