Early August 2010

Here we are in the early part of August already. The nights are getting cooler and we will see color on the mountains by the end of the month. Nothing earth-shaking is going on, just summer life as usual. The plants are growing profusely, Uncle's hens are still laying, the honeysuckle vine is going crazy, the reduced-size family is gathering, and we are picnicking with dear friends. So all is right with the world.

1 dozen beautiful eggs from Ann, Stephen,
and their chickens

The family says "Hi!" to the Hastings and Young
cousins and to Auntie Katy

The Freestones and Ostergars at our
recent summer picnic

The trumpet vine is finally meeting
the measure of its creation

The promise of cantaloupe

We are just a few days away from
home-grown tomatoes

It's not much, but that's all for now.

OXO

aww shucks, that made me homesick. And I think that the color of eggs is just about the most beautiful color scheme.

I'm all about the eggs as well, and the trumpet vine, so pretty.
