June.

 Pentecost ... we celebrated this day of the Holy Spirit coming down to earth and filling believers!  Holy Spirit is still alive and living in our hearts today!  If you believe in Jesus, you have direct access to Holy Spirit!!!!!  Read the Bible for many more details!

We continue baseball season!  Mike and Matt coach the Flames and really loving it!  

Then Mike went to help Matthew's team and he pitched a game!  First time for everything!!!!!

Strawberry season ... The strawberries in our garden don't grow big!  I've tried for years and finally just a few weeks ago, pulled out my plants.  I can buy nice berries from those of you who know the trick to strawberries!  The space in my garden will be used for something else!

Mom came here to help me make five goes of jelly!  Three goes will be gifted to Matthew and Daisy!

And we love this ... fresh berries, basil, cream cheese on top of toasted French bread!  It's delicious drizzled with balsamic vinegar!

And here's the photo of the summer!!!!!  This is why I grow foods and have this hobby!  I want the garden to be a place where the kids can stroll through and glean from the foods!  Picking fresh peas, cucumbers and raspberries is top notch!!!!!

Another visit with Mommy D!!!!!  She was in such a good mood here!  Love her!!!!

Fresh bouquets from around the house have begun!

This is home!  

We talked about our views the other day with Ashlyn's friends and said how we would love to go here or there and visit other places to view pretty views!  It got me thinking and thankful for the views I get to see every day!!!  We are surrounded by fields of corn, beans, hay and wheat!  Our neighborhoods are so beautiful!  We take all the greens and rains for granite.  Thank you Jesus!

The poppies are so beautiful right now in the garden!

We had so much rain in May and now June is a repeat!  The garden is thriving and plants are growing so fast!!!!

This is the first time I put dahlias in a raised bed and they are doing wonderful!
