Hi Chris and Holly. So glad your Sunday was a great day. John and I enjoyed the day as well. We fired up the grill and did New York Strip steaks for dinner a long with French fries salad and vanilla ice cream for dessert. The steaks turned out really well. We bought them at our local meat market so they were really fresh.

Your raspberries remind me of when I was a child and we would pick wild raspberries and make jelly out of them. It was always so good. I don't know where I could even find wild raspberries now. I have been keeping an eye on my currents and can't wait to make current jelly. That is by far my all time favorite jelly.


It is great that you moved your bird feeder. We moved our sunflower feeder so we could see it better from the deck. We have lots of birds this year and we love watching them from our deck.

Your garden is really growing. You will be harvesting goodies before long. John and Kelly have a really great garden but are having problems keeping the deer and rabbits out of it!!

John and I have errands to run today so I had better get my day started. We are under storm warnings for this afternoon so I want to be home before the storms hit. You and Holly enjoy your Monday.

Hugs
John and Debbue
