July Joys

 The joy of sultry lazy summer days ...


Sunning Sully - perfect example!











Sourdough baking

(aka - heating up the kitchen)

















Giving an old chair a new wings ...

Easy fix - slip cover ordered online




Yummy summer salads ....

Directly from my sun dappled raised garden ... borage for the win. 



New to me daylilies ... thank you former owner!






Mom's quilt stands coming in handy ...


And "sew/quilt" it begins ...

Striving for smaller stitches - eek! This project might take me another year?



Time spent with this little farmer ...

tractor fixin'



And then, this happened ...
she turned 6!!!!

Love her SO much.

Pictures by her momma

And these ...






The ultimate joy of finally having a summer family gathering

The traditional summer family gathering at the Freeman Farm pond!
It just isn't summer without this.

Celebrating some special twin 65th birthdays, walks down the lane, and so much delicious food!



These are the best of July's Joys.

Hope you are en"joy"ing this renewed spirit of summer 2021.


Sent to us from their vacation at the cottage ... perfection!



Until next time ... love to all and joyful summer days ahead!
