This summer we have been experiencing episodes of power outages because of weird summer storms here and there. We also have been enjoying some goodies coming out of the garden finally, thank you Lord. I guess being up north things just come a little later than our friends down south. We have been very blessed with cooking greens, salad greens, snow peas, strawberries ( finished a couple of weeks ago) , raspberries ( peak season right now) , a few carrots and parsnip thinning's.
A veiw into our garden from the house.
Even rain clouds have their own beauty. I love the streams of light shinning through.
This year we have had some of the most amazing moon rises to enjoy.
As always there are soooooo many new science experiments going on. I will be sharing some more on this hopefully tomorrow.
Waving!!! waiting for hubby to go back to work...expect a ring :)

Look at that bounty!!! How beautiful...my poor little Texas garden just didn't produce much...it has been 105 to 107 lately.
ReplyDeleteOh science experiment.....those weren't usually planned in this boy household..they just did them!
Wow beautiful harvest, and your garden looks wonderful. I had a very very small one this year that was constantly being nibbled on by rabbits gophers and mice despite 3 fences I put up lol!! Enjoy all those yummy veggies Love Heather
ReplyDeleteAbundant harvest and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMary, your bounty looks amazing and your lamp lit table looks so peaceful, what I wouldn't give to sit there with you for an evening to chat and catch up!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are getting some great produce from your garden, good job. Bummer about all the power outages, that is a bummer.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear from you, here! Your garden is always impressive. Wow, those moon rises are interesting. I don't recall seeing such a sight here. Neat!
ReplyDeleteOh how I would love to just sit at that table in the glow of the oil lamp...PTL for your abundant (if a little later) garden! My raspberries just didn't produce in the horrible heat and drought here in IL, I sure missed them. They usually give us a September harvest, too, but smaller. Praying that will happen.
ReplyDeleteOne more week until I take Nathan to college and drop him off there...I'll stay nearby for a couple weeks until we get his insulin pump rates ironed out (they'll change with the new life routine, and it's just "hit and miss" in how we know what to do...hopefully we'll "hit" mostly and not "miss" too much!). Then I am an "empty-nester" for a while until Bryan returns home in November. Life is changing here, big time!
Your mountain views always calm my soul, just looking at them. Thanks so much for sharing them!
Love and {{{HUGS}}},

How lovely to look at your summer when we are in the dead of winter here in Australia.. It is so nice to see your summer harvest and I can just about smell the raspberries that we also grow here in summer. Your lamps look so inviting, and I agree what beautiful sunsets. Thankyou for a glimpse at your summer days.

This little post just appeals to me, Mary. I love that first picture with the power outage and the way it looks homey and "Little House on the Prairie-ish". (Easy for me to say with the lights on, I guess...) I also love the pictures of the bounty and the gorgeous streaked cloudy sky.
ReplyDeleteAs for science projects, I assume you are talking about real ones. I tend to find unintentional ones in my garage refrigerator, and I hate it when that happens. Feel like a failure...
And btw, I STILL love that prayer in the post below. I just saw it again and liked it anew. So true. So true.
What a beautiful harvest! Such a blessing from the Lord! Thanks so much for taking the time to share a bit of your life again. I always love your photos and all.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos, Mary.
ReplyDeleteThere is such a peace and simple beauty about them that speaks of your own soul.
Praying you are having a good week, my friend.
love and blessings..Trish xx
Everything from your garden looks delicious, Mary. Glad you're having a "fruitful" summer. :)
ReplyDeleteMany blessings,
Lisa
Oh, how beautiful and delicious your summer harvest looks!!! How blessed you are, indeed. :)
ReplyDeleteHoping all is well; been thinking of calling you lately, but lost your number in the move. Have a lovely weekend, my friend!

Beautiful pictures--especially the moonrise.
ReplyDeleteHello Mrs. Mary!
ReplyDeleteI am finally back to checking on my friends and bloggy world. All of your wonderful garden and food posts (and awesome photography) have made my mouth water. So much beauty and bounty!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Tracy
Hi Mary, I came over to check and see how you are doing. Looks like you are blessed as ever! Glad to see it. How are your boys?
ReplyDeleteHi Mary. The oil lamp glow on your table is beautiful. Sorry about the power outages but you sure did capture a picture that is lovely.
ReplyDeleteAll your garden goodies look delicious as well. Will you be planting for the fall as well?
I will peak back in on those experiments!
Hugs, Carmen
Happy Thursday, Mary~
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to hear from you; I've missed you, too! Would you be up for a chat sometime so we can catch up? If so, email me your phone number and I'll call you. :)
Off to pick crabapples today to make your jelly. :) Also going to make crabapple butter. Yum!
Have a lovely day!
