Lots of beautiful nature and gardening this summer :)

Happy Sunshine Thursday! :) We're enjoying a nice day with sunshine, nature, gardening, and gearing up for a super fun baking friday adventure! :) it's been a week of amazing sunshine, and spirit soaring nature in our area :) i'm so happy and excited! :) i've been enjoying tending our plants, feeding the plants, plant food, and watering them :) our sunflowers have grown very tall in our plants :) we've had some breezy weather in recent days, but thankfully the breeze eased today :) i had to put some garden bricks/stones near the planters, so that the planters don't tip over. We got some sunflowers about 7 feet tall! :) The sunflowers love that sunshine! :) smiling and shining! :) glowing in the garden :) Today, i tended our plants, enjoyed some nature walks :) team ds posted an update about possibly being able to upload pictures tomorrow :) Sweet!!! :) i have about 200 pictures i'd love to share with everyone :) It's gonna be so nice, getting to upload the pictures :) lots of butterflies, garden, birds, and lots more :) The summer season is glowing! :) it's a beautiful season :) Tomorrow's baking friday! :) Calling all cookie monsters! :) cookie monsters unite! :) It's almost time to bake! bake! bake! :) 


Hi angel friends :) my family and i hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying a wonderful day :) We've got some sweet sunshine in our area this week, and our plants are loving it, and we're loving the sunshine too :) i've been blossoming into lots of nature walks, and gardening this week :) It's so neat, to see the plants, the birds, butterflies, and lots more nature, all glowing all around us :) i'm so thrilled! :) Each morning, i love to gather a big bowl of goodies, and going out into our yard, for my early morning nature walk :) as the summer sun has been rising up into the sky, it creates this amazing glow upon the plants :) 


i've been seeing lots of growth amongst the gardens :) our pumpkins, and gourds plants, along with our popcorn plants have grown a lot :) We've had some breezy weather in recent days, and i've had to use some bamboo sticks, and support stakes to support the plants, sunflowers, tomatoes, and popcorn plants :) the sunflowers have grown so tall in our front yard planters, the planters get top heavy, so i've been putting these nice garden bricks/stones near the plantes, to prevent the planters from tipping over. One of the sunflowers is so tall, i can see it from my computer room window here, right outside my window :) The sunflowers face the sun, throughout the course of the day, that sunflower lean, is an amazing gardening joy :) we have about 70 sunflowers growing in our gardens :) We love to see them doing so well :) 


i picked our first string beans of the season yesterday :) They are so nice, and crisp, garden fresh :) i love spirit soaring all around our yard, and gardens, checking the plants, tending them :) i've been making the miracle gro plant food, to feed the plants :) The popcorn plants are as tall as up to my waist now, and some sunflowers, about 7 feet tall :) It's so cool, and neat to see them growing wild :) We have cucumbers growing, some more string beans, plus some yellow squash, and i believe we have some gourds beginning to grow :) i continue to do lots of garden work, trimming branches, raspberry bushes, and vines, to give our plants and gardens more sunlight :) The plants are very healthy, and happy :) 


On a beautiful day, and week like this, it's such a special joy to be amongst the yard, and garden :) seeing lots of butterflies, and all of our snowball bush blossoms, nasturiums, cosmos, wildflowers, marigolds, are all glowing :) We have some more sunflowers that will be blossoming soon too :) i feel so proud of our plants, gardens, and how well they're doing :) It's gonna be amazing the rest of the season, seeing how much the plants continue to grow :) i love writing about our plants, and gardens :) i'm looking forward to sharing many new nature, and gardening pictures with everyone :) 


We're enjoying a nice day :) my family and i are doing well :)It's been a big week, lots of nature, gardening, tending our plants, and enjoying some writing time :) i'm browsing around on amazon and ebay, for postcard books :) i'd love to order a couple more books soon :) i love sending cards :) today for lunch, i enjoyed some mashed sweet potatoes, and baked sweet potato :) lunch was delicious! :) i've been checking in on our plants, enjoying some phone calls, and time here on DS, writing to friends :) Tomorrow's baking friday :) We're gearing up for a super fun adventure :) The kids want to bake some cookies :) we love sharing our bakingf riday adventures with everyone :) Thank you angel friends, so very much, for all that you do for us :) You all are wonderfully nice, and sweet :) We deeply appreciate everything, with all of the love of our hearts :) BIG GROUP HAPPY SUNNY SUNFLOWER HUG :) There's many more great things to look forward too, with family, friends, and nature :)
