Currently this tree has leaves giving shade on this sunny day, but a month from now it will be shedding colorful leaves, opening up to as much light as we can get during our shortest days of the year. :)<br /> This post is a test to see if my blog is working again!

The mixed zinnias are starting to bloom as well, and it's fun to see new color every day! :) This is what I was hoping for when I planted them! I may even bring a bouquet in the house to enjoy! :)<br />

Not unlike the fig tree that I planted as a baby plant the year Rud built the garden fence! I didn't really expect it to do well in our area, but I know a couple people who've been successful with figs, here in the Pacific NW, so I wanted to give it a try. It's now big enough that I will begin the pruning process on it this winter. :)<br />I Love when things work out and a plan comes together! :)<br />Here's wishing you all success in the dreams you're planting of your own! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722839805773511363.post-91886648739511635172019-07-14T18:27:00.000-07:002019-07-14T18:27:56.761-07:00Special Summer Blessings! :)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The corn was knee high by the 4th of July, thus time to hill up the rows! :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I sprinkled organic fertilizer around the base of the stocks as corn is a heavy feeder and benefits from a boost of "food" this time of the season! :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MSWPa15XYj8/XSvKB4pxw7I/AAAAAAAAOEs/98ZgMd888t0W9whY6OQdaNZ-njMxHY6NQCLcBGAs/s1600/20190708_093248.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MSWPa15XYj8/XSvKB4pxw7I/AAAAAAAAOEs/98ZgMd888t0W9whY6OQdaNZ-njMxHY6NQCLcBGAs/s320/20190708_093248.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Then it's time to grab the hoe and hill up the rows, securely covering the roots! :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SjMeYp2vbi8/XSvKHPAZVVI/AAAAAAAAOEw/O2nUNEnQ5LMyY5rrR62JeJ7B894Xngf3QCLcBGAs/s1600/20190708_093313.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SjMeYp2vbi8/XSvKHPAZVVI/AAAAAAAAOEw/O2nUNEnQ5LMyY5rrR62JeJ7B894Xngf3QCLcBGAs/s320/20190708_093313.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The last step is to thoroughly water the leaves and stocks, washing off any fertilizer. The corn will have another boost of energy after this T.L.C. treatment, and this will see it through the rest of the season! :)<br />Can hardly wait for corn-on-the-cob this Fall! :)<br />

They have now outgrown the tops of their cages and all 6 plants are full of green fruit! One Sun Gold Cherry Tomato has ripened and I picked it for my hubby! He enjoyed it's sweetness! In a few more weeks we'll have several ripening! Can hardly wait! :)<br />

It's been awhile since I've shared a blog post since I'm having problems with my old laptop and with my camera. This is my first post using my newer laptop and my cell phone for photos. So far so good! <br />If you're ready, Sylvester will be our guide! :)<br />His job is to keep us moving and to keep me from talking!<br />His expression says he's up to the task, so here we go! :)<br />

I'm excited about using the old greenhouse frame in a new way! :) We've strung it with twine and I planted pole green beans and pole peas to climb up the sides! Within I've planted cabbage and lettuce. The peas and beans should offer shade as they grow! We lined up the frames for a fun walkway! :)<br />

There were many things I failed to take photos of. I forgot my Canon on our day to the beach. The ocean water was warmer than expected, (after this long, hot Summer), and the kids enjoyed playing on the edge of the waves! :)<br />We bought ice cream cones at Scoopers, took in a museum, and did some shopping at Longbeach! :)Then we decided to take in a light house, and Troy noticed there was a 2nd light house not far away so we went to it too! The 2nd lighthouse required a hike to get to it, and it felt good to get in the exercise! It was a fun-filled day! :)<br />I failed to get a photo of the advanced target range Papa B. set up for their 2nd day of target practice. He even had a shovel head hanging upside down, that the b. b.s would send a loud PING off of, when they hit it! :)<br />Now I see what's left of the targets and it brings more smiles! :)<br />We are greatful to have made more cherished memories with our dear ones this Summer, and thankful for the visions we see wherever we go in our home and on our property! :)<br />Here's hoping you are all making memories too! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722839805773511363.post-37138471216145873212018-07-24T07:46:00.002-07:002018-07-24T07:46:49.126-07:00I Want A Pause Button! :)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Soon the rhododendrons will be done, too, just like May, herself. Glorious while she's here, but gone too soon! <br />Spring is my favorite season of the year! :)<br />Now if only Spring would Slow Down! I'm working as fast as I can, in the yard and garden, before the heat of Summer hits, and it feels like Spring is passing me by!<br />I'm loving every delicious day, ... but it's racing by in a blur! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722839805773511363.post-19034593403868929812018-03-07T17:38:00.001-08:002018-03-07T17:38:29.466-08:00Nature's Tug-Of-War! :)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We end this March post as we started it, with another pink sky, signaling change in the weather.<br />Mankind is just along for the ride when it comes to Mother Nature! :)<br />Right now Winter and Spring are fighting over who gets to be with us! :)<br />I have to say, I'm enjoying Nature's amazing tug-of-war! :) Hope you are too! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722839805773511363.post-46825248177965060522018-01-27T13:55:00.000-08:002018-01-27T13:55:18.050-08:00I Love The Beautiful Pacific Northwest! :)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There are some who say the Pacific Northwest is always cloudy and offers nothing but rain! While it's true we have our share of overcast days and rain in the Winter, here's proof that even in our Winter months, the landscape and sky are ever changing! :)<br />

After all the Christmas chocolates and cookies, it feels great to feast on colorful, fresh fruit and vegetables that explode in our mouths with flavor! :)<br />There's a tendency to want to gorge on the bright flavors, and we have to remind ourselves to take it slow and pace ourselves! :)<br />Luckily there's plenty of left overs, so we will be enjoying this meal again! :)<br /><br />This morning we start a new day; a new week; a new month; and a new year! :)<br />I've been taking my goals and resolutions for the new year, and writing them down so I can check them off as I accomplish them! :) I've found this act of recording them, and keeping a running tally as I accomplish them, turns my "wish" into an actual "goal" that has my attention! :)<br /><br />May we all seize the moment and make the most of this new year, one day at a time! :)<br />I wish you all health, peace, more time with your dear ones, and the sweet whisperings of the Spirit in your lives! I wish you joy!

This year we cut our tree from our own property! One of the Nobles was growing into the King Apple Tree and it had to go. We saved it for Christmas so it can go out in glory! We're glad we did! :) We used the top 8' of the tree and it's been fun to have a tree we grew, in the house! :)<br />

Even though we continue to have unusually hot Summer temps', there is a change happening! Summer is getting ready to pass the baton to Fall! It's happening so quietly and slyly, that it's sneaking up on us! Fall is only three short weeks away!<br /> September has two faces! She's Summer one minute and Fall the next! Make no mistake about it! September Is Sly! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722839805773511363.post-15755227012649638932017-08-29T08:29:00.001-07:002017-08-29T08:29:52.057-07:00Sheana Was Here! :)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With temp's reaching into the 100's!<br />After two to three days with that kind of heat, temp's are expected to be back in the 90's and 80's for awhile! It seems much more do-able in comparison! :)<br />It's rather fun to see that this area has the characteristics I remember as a child! :) It's like coming across an item from one's childhood and discovering that it hasn't changed! :) It's still true to character, and fondly familiar! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
