As the month comes to a close it seems appropriate to share a few of June's joys. Black Raspberries ripening on the vine makes the list. Several packages are in the freezer and a couple of pickings even made it into pie!
In spite of the dry weather the first cutting of hay was plentiful. With the lack of rain, not certain there will be a second. Praying we will get more moisture in July.
Fortunately we have been blessed with a strong well and was able to keep the veggie patch growing. This was the first year for straw bale gardening. Not certain will do this again but will let you know in August.
The daylilies always manage to tolerate dry weather and drought.
This beauty is a favorite and a real beauty.
Early summer apples have been a pleasure. Made two batches of sauce and there is more to come. That is if the deer don't get them before I do :)!!
Last but not least, Kelsey's company on our daily walks certainly is a joy.
Well dear ones, thank you for showing up and visiting. May July bring everyone happy moments. See you next month.
Hugs
Debbie
P.S. For all who are celebrating next week - Happy 4th of July.
"So I commend the enjoyment of life, because nothing is better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany him in his work all the days of the life God has given him under the sun." Eccl:8:15 (NIV)
Lovely post-I miss picking wild blackberries-soooo good with all this rain here they would have been bountiful this year-at the woods house
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th
Many years ago, where I was living, there were wild blackberry bushes right behind the house. I can almost taste the pie.
ReplyDeleteThe straw bale gardening sounds interesting.
I wish you some rain. Wish we could share some of ours!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your June Joys with us. Those black raspberries look so good, and I imagine a pie would be wonderful. I'm not sure what straw bale gardening is, but the photo makes it look interesting. Hopefully you will get some rain. Although the forecasts keep saying rain, we have had very little here too. Have a wonderful 4th of July!
