Ordinary Days

 I missed posting this on Flag Day, so here it is.

I mostly like the ordinary days of the year, no holidays.

So much less stress and emotion.

 This is why I wear boots.  This is a small corn snake.  It's nonpoisonous.  They do kill rodents.  This is a baby one.  I still don't like snakes.  EWwwwww.

 A mini Flower Garden in a bucket!

 The "escapee".  When I got home one day last week, she was no where to be found.  I looked high and low and even looked with the car in the neighborhood.  After dark, I decided to go back to her kennel, and found her underneath these boards on her deck.  She got under it but couldn't manage to get back out!   I was so happy to see her, and she me.  We made friends again.

 Showing you this deer right outside my pantry window, because she has a belly.  You can't always tell when a female deer is pregnant, because they are so slim, but this is what they look like.  She's next to the cages where my blueberry bushes are.  This area is inundated with deer, and they are not afraid to get in your yard and eat what ya got!

 Here's a mockingbird, chiding me.  I must be close to it's nest.

 Look at this pretty chartreuse green!  The bird nest is probably somewhere in this shrub.

 Peek- a- boo!

 Tangerine Gerbera Daisy

Blooming cactus

 Yes, that's a mole.  Mama Kitty left him on the porch for me.  yay...ewwww.

 A walk in the woods

 The perfect sunset after a rain.  Am I sure I'm not in the great American West somewhere?

This is but a dream, maybe.

New 3/4 length apron design.

Same criss-cross - No Tie - over the head and arms through design,

like the Farmhouse Apron, only shorter.

Will hit to mid thigh on most people.

I LOVE this apron!

I want to wear it all day.

It's perfect for the warmer weather.

"Sommarhus" is Swedish for "Summer House",

Nothing's Happening.......

Nothing’s really happening these days.....unless you consider

there’s some magic beans in the field

 

French Hydrangeas blooming

 

Turkey’s visiting

 

Rabbits running

 

Blueberries almost ripe for picking

 

Roses blooming

 

and

Garden’s growing....

 

No not much happening.....but summer, I guess!

Updating you, one post at a time!

I'm just so busy I can hardly stand it!! I'm up to my ears in cucumbers,

 picking them every 4-5 days and making pickles!

Truely there's so much I am going to update you about,

but have to do it piecemeal, one at a time.  We're in the farming/canning season,

and there's so much to do, and the days just aren't long enough to do them!

 The corn is high too.  This is before it dried out too much.

Hello Zinnia!  Isn't she lovely?

And how about this?  I'll leave you with this picture

for now......have to run....  XXOO, BB

More of the Story of PeonySTreet

Peony: "This is my Hannie Jo. I couldn't say my 'g's' when I was really little, so she's Hannie. Her middle name is Jo, so Hannie Jo. She's the oldest of the Peony Street bunch. Mommie says her hands don't work so well anymore, so she just gives advice."

Bebe: "That's not exactly what I said, Peony! I said she 'advises' us! Wisdom comes with age, and we all should listen to our elders, most of the time."

Peony: "Okay, mommie. That means I should listen to you, right?"

Bebe: "Yes that's right. Now continue with your story."

Peony: "Hannie Jo is the one who wants me to wear a scarf all the time, just like her, so I won't get a ear ache. Peony # 6 "Summer Picnic" is wearing one.  The shirt she's wearing is from an old dress Bebe and her sister used to wear, that was a hand-me-down from their cousin."

Bebe: "Almost right, Peony. the fabric the shirt was made from is a scrap from the dress Granny Lil made our cousin, that was a hand-me-down to us. The fabric from the shirt was never worn. It is a cotton sateen. I loved that dress! I felt like a princess in it!

Speaking of summer picnics. . . one of my best memories is of my mom, Dottie Rose, setting out a picnic for me in the springtime. All my siblings were in school. I was too young to even go in first grade. She made a jelly sandwich for me and wrapped it in waxed paper. She set out the blanket in the backyard, and brought out a carton of chocolate milk with my sandwich. It was a beautiful, blue sky and white cloud day!"

Peony: "Sounds like fun! Maybe we can have a picnic together!"

Bebe: "Yes, maybe we can!"
