mid June.

June is already half over but we made some fresh new memories!  We are in a drought and May is now known to be the driest month since 1888.  That's pretty dry!  We are praying for rain and the day that the Riehl's have their reunion, it rains!!!  No one complained because we all knew it's much needed and gift from God above!  There were a few ballgames still happening between the rain showers and some of the children swam in the small pond.  We ate good food with good fellowship and this is the biggest group of people that I know that work well together, invites EVERYONE to their gatherings and are great hosts!

 

I'm so happy to see the rain drops on my windows!  It got cloudy and moody and we lit some candles and watched it rain!

That morning, the walk in the park was pretty!  We are praying for the rains to come!

We went to the Riehl reunion and then came home a little in the afternoon while it rained.  It gave us the chance to read more of our book and sip some hot coffee on this rainy day!  It's a good one!

We went back for supper!  You can see why!!!!!  Good food and fun friendships are priceless!

June is a month where we start getting some harvest from the garden!  I just love watching the kids and cousins gather in the garden!  Bryce and Zayla picked our first zucchini!  Hunter and Ashlyn love those fresh peas!

I've been faithfully watering the garden with the sprinkler but the rain sent from above, is the best kind!!!!

It's making everything pop!!!!  Thank you, Jesus!!!!

Cabbage is one of my favorite vegetables to watch grow!  Such huge leaves!!!!

The poppies are blowing in the summer breeze!  Celery is ready to eat!  We've still got lots of lettuce!

Green beans are popping throw the dirt!

We planted raspberry bushes last year and we are picking fresh berries this summer!

I'm packing a big boys lunch now!  Matthew is back from Senior week and off to his full time job!

We spend lots of time with cousins!

Summer is full of fun gatherings, friends, late nights and sleep in mornings!

We love summer time!
