He Grew Hair

 

 This fella is along our river walk.  In early spring he was bald. 

 

During our walk last week, we noticed he has decided to grow his hair out.

Ha Ha!

Happy Monday!

Hello Summer and It is the Hodgepodge

 

 

Hello Summer and it is the Hodgepodge.

Joyce asks the questions.

We answer the questions.

Click here to join the fun! 

1. Summer officially begins this week (in the northern hemisphere)...what was your favorite thing to do in the summer when you were a kid? What do you like most about summer now? 

Family would come to visit from Southern Wisconsin. I enjoyed playing and visiting with my aunts, uncles and cousins.

And what do I like most about summer now? The same thing, we get together as a family one weekend every summer. We laugh, get out on the water kayaking, fishing, campfires, enjoy delicious food and we have s'mores.  

 2.  Something you'll celebrate this summer? 

I guess I answered this above. We will celebrate family. 

  3. Summer tastes like? Smells like? Sounds like? 

Summer tastes like?

Watermelon!!

Summer smells like?

The beach!!

Summer sounds like?

Road construction .. the below photo was taken from our bedroom window.

 

 4. June 18th is National Splurge Day...what's the last thing you splurged on? What might you splurge on today? 

What is the last thing we splurged on? Cheese! We love Gouda cheese. Marieke Gouda in Thorp, Wisconsin makes the best Gouda. We don't live close by, so when we had a recent road trip that way, we stopped and splurged to fill the cheese drawer in the refrigerator.

I will not be doing any splurging today.

 

 5. Share a favorite summer quote, saying, song lyric, or meme. 

 

"And you know it's not so much the heat as it is the gosh darn humidity"

 

 6. Insert your own random thought here. 

We enjoyed a special Father's Day with our boys. 

We went to a local baseball game, it was a fun game, lots of action and of course spending the day with family, that is what it is all about.

Early June in the Garden

 

 

Hello Friends, the garden changes daily. I will probably be a week behind in showing you the changes here on the blog. The garden keeps me busy, but I love it and would not want it any other way. Today I am sharing some photos of our garden in early June.

 

 

 

Be on the look out for a green garden friend in the below photo.

 

 

Did you find him?

 

 

We feed the orioles oranges, that is why you see oranges hanging on a bird-feeder. 

 

 

I will be excited to share this pot with you as it fills out. I am excited for the combination I planted in this pot. Yes, you spy maple seeds in the pot. We had HUNDREDS of maple seeds fall this season. Since this photo was taken, this pot has been cleaned of maple seeds. We had buckets and buckets of the maple seeds. My aunt Sharon shared with me it happens every three years or so, the maples go crazy producing their seeds.

 

Note... clean the rain gutters of all the maple seeds.

If I could have .05 cents for each maple seed, I just might be rich.

 

 

I seek quiet joys.

Enjoy your week my dear friends.
