Well it is mid summer now...been a while since I have blogged. Life gets so busy in spring with prepping the gardens, planting seeds and seedlings, and sitting back to watch them grow. My veggie garden is doing wonderful this year thanks to the perfect summer conditions we have! Going through a heat wave this week breaking records since the 1800's. Today is the hottest of them all so far.
We had a wicked thunder storm ... first one ever in the lower mainland that was so extreme! It was awesome...I love thunder storms!
I have my pickling done... did cukes, beans, and strawberry rhubarb jam...yummo! Now I'm waiting for my garden to finish its thing and see what i can get out of that for canning or freezing.
Hope ya'll enjoy the rest of the summer...I shall return!

Stop and Smell the Roses
Think of it as a rose only opens its bloom for a short period of time before the delicate petals fall off. If you don't stop to smell that bloom, it's like missing a rare chance to do something great for yourself in life. So take a moment and smell a rose, it will put your life into a different perspective. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
