Ozark family

Greetings!

June is beautiful here in the Ozarks. My bird feeders are visited morning, noon and night.( well, late evening)  :) 

Finches, Bluejays, Cardinals,Wood Peckers,Blue Birds,etc. I could never tire of watching them swoop and eat and fly into the blue sky.

All the summer flowers are blooming. the yard is full of color!  Raining quite a bit for June but thats O.K. July will be greener longer. Mowed grass  is a favorite scent of mine.

Our children and grandchildren are enjoying the swimming pool.Lots of splashes and laughter.

B-B-Q's are great get-to-gathers for friends and neighbors. We had 53 gathered here for Memorial weekend. Our daughter Lacy was leaving for Canada to be a music pastor there.She is single and waiting for the one the Lord chooses for her.  All wanted to see her off !

The garden is showing promise.  Corn, green beans, tomato's, squash, orka, peppers. Only God knows how to truely water a garden. Thank-You, Lord !

The fruit trees have loads of fruit . Limbs are being propt  for good measure. Apples, peaches, plums, pears. Hope to make lots of jams and jellies. Grapes look hopeful. too.

Our bundle of  baby chicks, turkeys, and guineas arrived  the 12th. All are alive and well. Some will lay, while some will be for the freezer. I can't help but think of the first 13 years of our married life. We had a poultry farm , with 30,000 laying hens to take care of. Once we even raised our own replacements for 10,000 of them.  Chickens are still our  favorite farm critter.  We are still looking for our family milk cow..

All of you have a very good summer.  God Bless!

I live in the ozarks too! I also love this time of year. Everything is sooooo beautiful! A little humid, but still beautiful. We just bought a pool. I hope we haven't made a mistake with the economy like it is, but I know my boys will truly enjoy it.
