A Walk Around the Land


This has become one of my favorite daily chores...hanging clothes on the line. I'm not so sure what we are going to do come winter, or how much I will love it then :-)

My flowers look a little wilted now, but a week ago they were bright purple and looked fabulous in the mailbox holder my husband made for me. I just have to paint my little barn red and we'll be all set. 

Again...a wilted looking plant. My ma gave me this lilac tree and so far it hasn't died, but it's not very happy either...

Our ever growing pile of felled trees ready to be stripped of their bark and used for building something...perhaps fence posts...

Our little man roasting the only kosher, corn-syrup free marshmallows we could find...MINI marshmallows and OH they tasted fantastic.We made smores over the fire and enjoyed every gooey moment.


 Charlie the dog is tuckered...frankly we all are at the end of each day, but it is worth every tired moment, every sore muscle, every dirt covered appendage, it is ALL worth it.

  1. Keep watering the lilac no matter how bad it looks. As long as you made sure there are no air pockets it might look like it died but it will come back next year. Just keep watering it :) It will come back! The heat lately stresses all new trees/plants. Some of mine look downright awful too

  3. Thanks for the encouragement, Amanda! It's still looking pretty sad.
