Only memories remain of summer....

Summer is almost gone, only memories remain... of hot long days, blue skies, there are so many things that spell summer for us....like fresh garden vegetables...

traveling, ocean, sand, salt air....

naked feet and swimming of course....

berries from the garden and a fruit cobbler from the goodness....

summer warm evenings, sunsets...

some garden fresh cantaloupes....

some elk viewing....

more flowers in my garden....

sand dunes by the beach....

and more beautiful summer flowers... cant have too many of those:)

love summer... but its almost gone, good thing I love autumn as well...:)

Sunflowers.

Why are sunflowers called that? I mean a sun flower... interesting.. is it because they are yellow?

The hot summer days are here. I love my wild sunflowers, they are a happy flower to have around.

A lightbulb for today.

Children are gifts from God to God...

Zucchini pancakes.

Have you ever had zucchini pancakes? This year we have an abundance of zucchini that our garden is producing. I keep giving them away to friends and family, so they can share in the green goodness. It is really simple to make them, all you need is flour, tsp of baking soda, a few eggs, some garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Just grate the zucchini add all the rest of ingredients, make the pancake batter and fry them in oil. Sometimes I add a grated potato and a carrot to make them even more scrumptious.

They are so good! Usually my kids eat them up as soon as they cool down a bit. Enjoy! :)

Best book to read.

If you only read one book this summer, you should read one by an old author who wrote many books about positive thinking. I am loving it! He has quite many of them. Here are a few I love.
Have a great day!
Stay alive all your life.
and The power of positive thinking.
I am sure you will love them too.

life is here and there

sometimes life is too busy, swirling in the winds of change and confusion

sometimes life is too fast, speeding on in a neck breaking speed

sometimes life is too full, splinting at the seams of reason

sometimes life is life and nothing we can do about it.

Blackberry.

Our blackberry bush is getting large... I love the ripe black berries.

 We also got some strawberries, sweet and fragrant...
