Eli's Day

Last Sunday Eli's mommie and daddy promised to "raise him up in the way he should go" and the family gathered in Hahira to join them in this commitment......

....and to celebrate sweet baby  Eli. Of course there was cake!

Which I am pretty sure pleased someone.

Thank you God for Eli and his family. Bless him mentally, physically,

emotionally, and spiritually every day of his life.

And bless his parents with Godly wisdom.

Happy Fourth of July Weekend

I hope you get to kick back and relax.

 Enjoy a bit of ice cream ................

 

Maybe have a little sand time .......................

 ....... and find a way to keep cool.

Tomatoes : The Taste of Summer

 We bought a couple of boxes of tomatoes this week. I did grow tomatoes this year and they have a great flavor , but they are small. So...........

 for the first time ever, I canned tomatoes.

I have often frozen vegetables.............

but wanted to try canning.

Now I can make soup with my home- frozen corn, beans,and  peas, and  home canned tomatoes. Maybe I also need to put up some okra.

They look beautiful!

 I hope they will taste as good as they look.

Free Range

Our chickens are now "free ranging" in the afternoons.

                   




























   
They are very happy ............




































and are now laying more eggs.

They always wander back to their coop about sundown.

If they don't ....

 ...... this black and white "mama hen" calls them in. 

Seven eggs today.

 Trying to get good contrast to show the blue eggs from our new chickens. We love our blue eggs. And our chickens!

Summer Heat

 How we handle the summer heat!

We have very Southern chickens ...............

 They love watermelon.

































At least the seeds.
