Hi angel friends :) my family and i hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying a beautiful day :) we hope everyone is keeping cool, and comfortable :) it's a very hot, and humid day. The plants are soaking up the sunshine and warmth. i've been giving them lots of water today, and seeing many birds, and butterflies visiting our yard, and garden :) We usually go shopping on saturday's, but today didn't go, as my mom's been so busy with the stores, and the birthday's this week. She definitely needed the break from the stores. She, Kayla, and Taylynn went over to Alyssa's and Aj's place today. lots of Aj's family, and relatives went there, they're having a gathering, for the Triplets for their birthday. my sister Lisa was at work today, but we  had a small birthday gathering for them on thursday here, and we have Taylynn's birthday party tomorrow here at our house :) my sister Lisa got a cool new waterslide from her boss at Domino's, and the kids are so excited, it's gonna be a nice birthday party tomorrow too :) We look forward to celebrating with everyone :) 

Today, i've been making some teriaki beef jerky for Taylynn, for her birthday :) my mom bought a roast and teriaki marinade :) It's Taylynn's favorite :) i prepared the beef jerky this morning, and been running it in the food dehydrator :) the beef jerky smells really good :) i also been looking after house, doing some organizing in my computer room, and tending our plants :) i also made some more nectar food, for the hummingbirds :) i put the food into some nice canning jars to let it cool in the freezer :) the hummingbirds love the nectar food :) 

GARDEN UPDATES! :) This morning, we had 2 sunflowers in our front yard, that needed support. i noticed the sunflowers during my nature walk this early morning. i went into gardening action! :) i got some garden support stakes, and garden rope :) one of the sunflowers, i braced with a metal garden stake and rope in our front yard near our new dogwood tree :) also the mammoth sunflower near our snowball bush, i used wooden garden stakes and garden rope to secure the sunflower. :) it's seeds will be ripening later on this month :) i look forward to harvesting mammoth sunflower seeds :) The sunflowers are doing ok, and stabilized with the nice garden support stakes and garden rope :) They'll continue to grow and do well :) 

Our tallest sunflower in our front yard, is 8ft, 7 inches tall! nearly 9 feet tall! wow!!! :) it's absolutely amazing to see how tall the sunflowers have grown! :) i was checking in on our plants, and also made 2 new garden tour videos :) i'll include the videos in my journal :) i'm so pleased with how well the plants are doing :) our popcorn plants are doding incredible :) some of the plants have 2 popcorn cobs growing on each plant!!! this is amazing!!! and super mega sweet awesome!!! :) i'm smiing and so very happy, excited, and thrilled! :) We've been picking some nice string beans, tomatoes, and also making sure the plants are nicely replenished :) it's been very hot/humid today. i gave the plants a really good soaking with the water nourishment :) when i give the plants a good soaking like that, i usually water all the plants, for a good hour total :) pacing myself, and making sure every plant has water, and also refilling the bird bath in our yard, for our nature animal friends :) i  love nature, and gardening :) The season is so fresh, and growing wonderfully :) here's the links to my new garden tour videos :)
