Hello Dear Reader,
Our weekend is upon us and I am wondering what fabulous activities you have planned.
It is slowing down a bit around here these days, I suppose it is the Summer lull.
Officially the Summer Solstice arrived on Tuesday June 21st, however here in the deep South it feels as though Summer whisked it's way in a month ago!
These are the beginning of the long days of Summer when heat and humidity meld together and drape themselves over our shoulders like thick pudding does when poured into a bowl.
Dave, Sadie, myself and the gardens all appear to be wilting to a certain degree as Summer days roll on.
Naturally I feel a sense of urgency to share some of our garden blossoms and vegetables in this simple Summer garden tour.

Why I like Green Beans
Our green beans set on about 10 days ago and we have been reveling in their freshness and flavor.
Fresh Garden Delights in the Flower Gardens
"The songs of nature beckon me to walk among the early morning dew.
It is here in the dawn of the day in my country garden,
that my heart seems to know what is true."
Wishing you a soul nurturing weekend,
