Talking about the weather ... it's been so lovely the past few days!!! The mornings have been cool and then the afternoon gets nice and warm! Lot's of sunshine and that feeds my mind, body and soul all at once!!! I love the spring/summer months and I know to enjoy them to the fullest, I have to not be so busy and embrace each day with gratitude! We had a thunderstorm go through last night and that was perfect for my thirsty garden and plants!
The flowers are in full bloom! The garden sugar peas, lettuce and strawberries are all ripening at once!!! We are thoroughly enjoying them all! I like asparagus but the rest of my family turn up their noses! I made a very small asparagus casserole last night that should feed me for a few days! I love veggies!!! I also bought some fresh beets that I can't wait to enjoy! Making salads for our meals are such a blast right now because we have fresh cut lettuce, butter crunch lettuce and dark green spinach to mix together. Add some cranraisins, walnuts, fresh basil, feta cheese and strawberries and then splash on some oil dressing and you have yourself a tasty bite!!! Love it!!!
With school coming to an end, the kids are talking about summer jobs. Matthew wants to help Mike out at the shop a few days. He's all excited about the new adventure but we will see how it all works out. He still wants to sleep in and have lots of pool days! :) Yet, the other day he said, "The only money I get is birthday money or the money I find." Where's he find money??? :) Hadassah is needing to earn some money too. She wants to go to volleyball camp this year and we said she could go if she earns her own registration fee. She was up to the challenge and I have a feeling it will greatly improve on getting chores done this summer!!!
Ashlyn is still loving the kittens! They meow like crazy when she holds them but they have no choice but to get tame with her around! :)
Hunter and Ashlyn are enjoying the warm afternoon in the small pool! Perfect for these two!
The other night, the weather was chilly but she was outback picking tons of mushrooms in the yard. She has this thing with mushrooms right now!?!
Homemade jelly sets on my kitchen counter right now! Yum!!!
It's easy to eat greens now with everything being fresh out of the garden!!!
Last night, Mike got the gazebo in place. We are ready for campfires!!! For smores! For doggie roasts! For more campfire memories!!!
The kids are loving the outdoors in the evening. Matthew is usually with Mike doing something. Else throwing balls, hitting balls or doing a project around the house. Ashlyn goes to the swing, to see what Hadassah is doing or helping me. Or playing with the kittens. Hadassah is always bouncing a ball!!!! She bounces a ball all over the driveway and I didn't get a photo of her doing this but it's true! She also put another paint coat on my bulletin board. Her craft!!! Love it!
