Summer

It definitely feels like summer!  We are having a few very warm (for us) days here.  Harvesting of the cherries should start Wednesday.  It is later this year due to the cool spring.  Today I continued working on the "cabins" by beginning the painting.  They will definitely look better although we probably won't use them for anything.  L and A worked on repairing/painting cherry tanks.

Here are some pics of the cabins:

This is how they looked after power washing the outside.

This is how they look now!

I suppose I should have entitled this "Catch Up Again"  as lots of things happen when a person does not write for almost two months!  It was a beautiful day for the wedding and although we were working right up to the minute everything went OK.  A was a beautiful bride and we are so thankful and blessed by all who helped make it all come together!   I don't have many pics yet but here are a few:

A friend has been teaching me how to crochet as I saw a project on the Mollie Makes site for a cute apple cosy that is crocheted.  I'm afraid I am slow to learn and may have to just figure out how to knit one but it has been fun to get together a few times.  I have knitted a dishrag:)

We have a very small garden but have enjoyed some strawberries! and arugula, basil, and a couple of cherry tomatoes.  The flower are very pretty and as I was painting on the cabins I was thinking here is another spot for flower:) so I'll be looking for some perennials to plant next spring:)

Cherry Festival and July 4 fireworks were both very good this year and we also got to see the balloon glow one evening.

Another project was making some cards for weddings, graduation, and thanks.  I used stuff I had around such as parts of old tear off calendar sheets.  It was fun!   Here is one:

A and I went biking on some trails and had a great workout (for me at least!)  This butterfly was beautiful:

I am going to go ahead and post this and will add more pictures tomorrow.  Have a great day!
