Oh Summer..... you've been good to us, but you've been a busy season. Do you ever have those days where you stop and think, "I can't believe how much we got done?" In our house, this has been a daily saying. My hubbie and I decided to take on a project... our staircase... enough said. What was supposed to be a 'quick' update has turned into an all summer.... more than you thought... hardwood ordering project that is slowly depleting us of any extra energy we have. Luckily the kids are at that age where they're too busy with their own friends to notice the difference. I, separating myself from the equation, can hardly wait for cooler weather and quilt snuggling evenings. And yes... school is starting in 3 weeks. Ugh!
Even though all this busy-ness is going on, we make it thing, to take a walk around our yard and look at all that's going on. Here are a few pics of the love that summer has shown us!

| Peanut Cactus ~ Echinopsis Chamaecereus |

| Flea-market find. Using the tiniest objects for some succulents. |
 |
| I'm not 100% sure, but I think these are Tent Caterpillars. Wouldn't exactly call this summer love, but they sure are enjoying the food! |
 |
| Hooray for wild blackberries! |
 |
| We had a new visitor in the garden this year! The Moth Hummingbird :) |
 |
| My new interest ~ Mushroom hunting. It's just amazing, the things you find on a walk in the woods. |
This year's garden has made my heart sing! The only way in is to crawl under the bean poles! It's just magic :)
On another note.... I am very aware that I've hardly had any sewing time. Nothing beats the feeling you get when you go to a concert and the light show reminds you of your work in progress. It was all the same stripes and hues.
Until next time friends, enjoy the trails, the outdoors, the birds and the bees :)
