Rain

We have had a decent amount of rain this year. It has actually been somewhat normal year for rain fall. The past few years we have been in a major drought, resulting in extremely low lake levels, water bans, etc. It is nice to see the result of good rain...here are a couple examples...

1. Our beautiful gardens that Brad has been working on over the last 2 years are filling in. We have these amazing lily's of many different colors. Here is one if them...

















2. Lots of strawberries. This particular one is about 15 minutes from our house. We pick 2 gallons on Saturday and I was able to make some delicious freezer jam. Yummy!










Can you see Carsyn? She loved to sit and eat.
These are some good picking hands!
As a result of sitting and eating..you get this....
This is her new funny face...
Have a wonderful week and enjoy these afternoon summer thunderstorms!
