As hot and dry as it still is, we’re still managing to get-r-done. Much has died in the garden, but the weeds and grasses still thrive with irrigation. We used to complain how well we grew grass and weeds, and little else, but we have a different attitude now. It all serves to feed the critters, who in turn feed us, which is a pretty good deal.
The honeybees love the purslane, and we love the honey.
The goats love the morning glory, and we love the goat cheese.
The bumblebees love the luffa flowers, and the pigs love the luffa fruit, and we love the bacon. How fortunate for us this cycle of life!
The volunteer cucumber has shown me we can indeed get fruit in 100 degrees, it just has to be from a fresh plant.
Fence clearing duty, thank you! And who doesn’t love pink zinnias?
I think we can tell who will be the next herd queen—Bluebonnet, daughter of the current herd queen—go figure.
And grapes ripening very oddly
A fantastic shot from a friend in the northeast US, so amazing, I just had to include it!
And last but not least, Bubba and Buttercup in their favorite places, which is always, as close to Hubby as possible. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
