I’m trying not to rush summer as I look forward to my favorite fall season ahead, but the leaves on the ground, crisp in the air & apples on the trees are making it hard to ignore that fall is on the way! Who else is excited?!
Happy sunny Monday from our farmhouse garden! We had a great weekend harvesting armfuls of cucumbers, zucchini & apples from the garden, finding antique treasures, & supporting our friend’s little girl showing at the county fair...all the things that summer was made for! What did you do this weekend?
A roundup of summer nostalgia comin’ atcha! We recently found this amazing 1941 baseball team photo which is framed with the original glass on the front & back (never seen that before—cool! 🧐😁👍) & every time I see it, it just says ‘summer’ to me. I figured I would share it as the days of summer are dwindling now. Swipe to see the closeup of this rag tag Sandlot gang, love those jerseys & victory grins!😄
This light-filled scene features something I never thought would be. For a couple of years, I tried to start the hollyhock seeds I had gathered on a warm summer night stroll with friends. As I tried, again & again the seeds never sprouted. Maybe it was me, maybe it was the seed, maybe it was the timing. I didn’t know, but I didn’t give up on them. One day in the fall, the seed starts that had never sprouted before began to show signs of life! I quickly planted the tiny sprouts & didn’t expect much. In fact, I expected so little of them, I even forgot I planted them! When spring came & I saw leaves begin to pop up, I wondered what would come of this (now forgotten) mystery plant. They grew, and they grew...and they grew a lot. I still wasn’t sure what they were & even contemplated pulling them out all together, worried about that they might become. Once I saw that first hollyhock flower, I was amazed & surprised to say the least—the entire plant towered above me—it must be 6 feet tall!! I think there’s a little lesson in that experience. Sometimes you can water & tend to something so diligently & still nothing comes of it. Sometimes it can worry you, sometimes it doesn’t come when you want it to or expect it to, but when you look back on it, you still learned something through it. And sometimes when you’ve learned what you’re supposed to out of it, it blooms & surprises you in ways you didn’t even expect! Isn’t life beautiful in that way! Keep giving, keep learning, keep trying! 💕🌿
