This is what our house looks like most evenings... and it's not just dog that collapse at the end of the day... we do as well!!! Our life here is so different in many ways (good ways) but one being is that we are outside most of the day, between just "being" on the farm, and house building and the like, we head out the door in the morning, and don't come back in until dark. It's great fun, but by the time the evening rolls around, we are all pretty tired. (and if you want to sit on the couch, you need to claim your spot early... btw.. the little red and white cocker is a visitor!!!)
Well, my garden wasn't much of a success this year. With the spring being so wet, we "lost" a number of plants, we did get a few peas, and some beans, a few tomatoes... but that's about it.. except for the sunflowers!! I did get a great "crop" of them, and they are truly beautiful. As you pull up the drive, there is a nice "sunny" row of them there to greet you. I will certainly put in a few more rows of them next year.
I am going to save a few and get the seeds from them for next year's crop, but the rest I have been cutting and sharing with friends.
Thursday evening, we were invited over to Kelli and Rick's for a cookout. It turns out that we knew some of the same friends, and they wanted to have us there all together. Kelli is a wonderful cook and she had all sorts of "goodies" for us, plus an amazing dinner. The evening went by way too fast and we had such a grand time.
There was peanut butter pie for dessert, and that.. along with a good cup of coffee was the end to a perfect day.
