Will we share?

The birds definitely do enjoy the berries we have in our backyard.  Without a doubt, they will get their share.  They will not, however, get these -


This is the earliest we have had blueberries and blackberries ready for picking!  Yay!  Time for muffins and pie!

A reminder - tomorrow is Flag Day!

The "bird feeder...."

For a few years, we have "given" the cherry tree to the birds, providing a "bird feeder."


That will be no more.:-(  Sadly, the cherry tree will have to be cut down.  The birds will be sad, as we are.

A "new" tree....



The Sassasfras tree has offered good support for the grape vines!  It looks like a good year for our few grape vines!

If you plant it....

....it will grow.


Assorted melon seeds!  The Husband is using up leftover seeds this season, and he isn't sure what these will become. :-)


We do know that these are green beans!  Radishes are to the right of the picture, and sweet potatoes are on the left.  Mr. Rabbit has left these alone!

A letter....

Dear Bunny Rabbit,

You are cute as you hop across our back yard.  You were even cute when we watched you taking a 
dust bath in our new strawberry patch.  However, you were not cute when you began nibbling on the sweet potato plants - AND - the new strawberry plants!  Didn't you know that The Husband put this in place to tell you to stay away?


Isn't it working?  

Well, it is our wish for you to just keep hopping!  NO DETOURS!  We are not in the mood to share things from our garden at this point!  We have left lots of clover for you - and any bees that might appear - to enjoy!

Your "friends,"
The Husband and His Wife

Recently....

Last week there was a Senior Expo held at the local Senior Center.  There was much good information available at all the tables - plus - door prizes!  Look what came home with me!


Deconstructed -


Lots of Lilly Pulitzer goodies!


Beautiful verbena hanging basket!

AND - the GRAND PRIZE!



The grand prize includes a gift card (for shopping!), a car wash gift certificate, and two tickets to see the Lady Vols play basketball next season for the game of my choice!  

It was a real shock to have my ticket number read!

I wish you a very good day!

The beginning.....

....of our church picnic on Sunday.  The ending was brought about unexpectedly by an approaching thunderstorm!  The rain has been very welcome!
