It's hard to believe that summer is over. The garden is finished, but there's lots of peas and okra in the freezer and pickles and jelly in the pantry. We really enjoyed our daylilies this year. We thought the last ones had bloomed several weeks ago, but this late bloomer came out just this week.

There are 8 ducklings left from the 12 that hatched, and they follow Larry around all over the farm. When he's not here, they're devoted to me -- when I have a bucket of feed in my hands!



It took a while, but Millie & Boss no longer chase Viola (aka Miss Kitty) up the tree. As you can see, they have become good friends.

More catching up

Caleb turned two before we went to Florida, but we never had time to celebrate, so we had a little "party" for him.
Collin is 8 years old today, so we went to their house this afternoon to give him some presents.


Pop really liked Larry's "new" pickup. He said if he had one like this, "it would make my tail laugh!" Whatever that means????

Catching up

Amanda and Jeff and family and Jeremy and Kimberly and family and AJ and us all went to Florida last week on vacation in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. We returned Saturday in time to greet Jason who is passing through for a couple days on his way to a m conference in NC. Mimi and Pop came on Sunday to visit for a couple days.

Pop, Jason and Jeremy and Papa worked on some projects around the farm. Jason and Jeremy and the kids enjoyed some fishing. Cheryl did a lot of good cooking. Mimi cleaned out the flower beds and everybody had a great time.

Farm Update

When Pop was here visiting he helped me get the goat shed started, and he has been asking for a photo of it. We have two calves and are expecting one more.

Visit with Nancy

We had a good visit with Nancy Strickland in Brunswick, GA a couple weeks ago. We were celebrating our anniversary in Savannah and drove down to go to church with her and have lunch afterwards. We had a great time visiting.
