I have so been enjoying this Summer.\u00a0 It is going way too fast.\u00a0 In another week, many children will be going back to school.\u00a0 I find that kind of sad. I remember when Summers were long and lasted for months.\u00a0 My grandson told me he was kind of glad to be going back to school which made me happy.\u00a0 If he is glad about it, then it’s okay with me.<\/p>\n

I can’t tell you it’s been an eventful Summer.\u00a0 One lazy day has melted into another.\u00a0 David and I have been busy at many things and yet, it seems we have done nothing.\u00a0\u00a0 Many of our days include this….<\/p>\n

Someone is almost asleep on the turtle raft behind us.<\/p>\n

Someone told us once that it was like swimming in the Garden of Eden in our pool.\u00a0 I guess it kind of is.\u00a0 Flowers, birds and butterflies surround us as we swim.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1075\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Belle enjoys being in the garden although she and Bonnie spend most of the hot days under the deck where it is cooler.<\/p>\n

We watched this while swimming the other day.<\/p>\n

The most beautiful butterfly with a large wingspan.\u00a0\u00a0We didn’t know what kind it was.\u00a0 Maybe someone who knows could leave a comment.<\/p>\n

It flitted from flower to flower all afternoon.\u00a0 David and my daughter chased it with their cameras trying to get some good pictures.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1105\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSCN1069\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I post all these flower pictures because I know that\u00a0before we know it there will be two feet of snow in our yard and I will think we will never have beautiful flowers again.<\/p>\n

David and I did manage to do some antiquing a couple of weeks ago. We found this really eclectic antique store in northern Indiana.\u00a0 It had just about everything you would want to see or buy.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1050\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Inside these doors is a wonderland of antiques and fun objects.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I could have stocked up on so much chicken paraphernalia.\u00a0\u00a0We almost missed this place as we thought it was in town, but it was off the beaten path and we just happened to see a sign for it outside of town.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1055\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This giant tin man stood sentinel out in front of the store.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1057\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSCN1061\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I baked again.\u00a0 I love baking fresh bread.\u00a0 It is so much better than store bought.\u00a0 My favorite sandwich is a hamburger on fresh, homemade bread.\u00a0\u00a0 Can’t do that too often, but once in a while it is a treat.\u00a0 We are getting tomatoes out of the garden now and that just adds to the lusciousness of a hamburger sandwich.\u00a0 There is nothing better than a slice of a fresh tomato with a little salt sprinkled on.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1062\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Made some potato soup.\u00a0 I think I am getting hungry writing this blog right now.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the soup is all gone.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1063\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The last fresh rhubarb crunch of the season.\u00a0\u00a0 I froze a few packages of rhubarb and this winter we will have some more of this.<\/p>\n

David and I have done something I never thought we would be able to\u00a0do.\u00a0 I can’t tell you what it is yet, but soon I will be able to write about it.\u00a0 I am so excited that we have done this.\u00a0 And no, I am not pregnant again!!\u00a0 Impossible!<\/p>\n

I will leave you with a couple of selfies I tried to take with Molly Marshmallow.\u00a0\u00a0 Let’s just say, she made it difficult as she kept licking my face.\u00a0 Love that dog.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN1086\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s to Summer, pups and beautiful butterflies.\u00a0 Bye.<\/p>\n
