I have no veggie garden this year either - I'm so sad! Guess I'll be going to the Farmer's Market a lot this summer. When we had the big tree cut down, the garden fence, etc., had to be taken down and everything moved - my raised beds, too. Then I got "wedding-busy" and it just didn't happen this year. So sad... I had planned on maybe having some patio plants, tomatoes and such, but that's not happening. So, I've had to let it go for this year. It IS what it IS. Trying to prioritize this year...and not stress myself out overly much.
I've been looking for photos to show of our little farm this year, lo and behold - there are hardly any pics that do not include my little granddaughter! I have thousands already! She's sitting alone now, jabbering up a storm and SO curious about every little thing. And still no hair!
This picture of my daughter, my granddaughter and myself was taken in Nashville at Cedarmont Farm where Adam's wedding was held. It was a gorgeous place and threatened rain all day, but the sun broke out towards the evening and everything was perfect! Bella is my middle son's baby girl and Hayley is such a proud Auntie! Bella is sporting wedding attire along with her smallish hair bow (not). I told her mommy and daddy that she looked like she'd been to the Kentucky Derby! either that, or she is a sweet little Ganache Cupcake!
Daddy and I did do our usual ritual of jelly making last week. This has been going on for many years now, and we were sure missing our Lisa being there to help. Just wasn't the same somehow, but we are carrying on. I did not think I could go on at times without my sister, but I have. Some days are better than others. I know the Lord in heaven is working His healing touch on our family and I'm so thankful to have Him to lean on.
Hope to be back soon amidst the wedding planning for my daughter and keeping my baby. She's the delight of my life right now and she makes this troubled heart happy! Take care and keep your dress down!

Well howdy! No wonder you've been busy and in very good keeping-on ways! Your sons are blessed men and your daughter is a blessed woman. Your grandbaby is so cute and whatcha talking about no hair? I see hair! Don't be gone so long now.
I was just wondering yesterday where you've been. It's nice to read all your wonderful news. Take care. Blessings.

It is so great to catch up! You are so crazy busy. We are about to go into wedding mode again here, as well. This time it will be a girl wedding so there will be much more for me to do. :-)
A tear sprang to my eye as I absorbed the impact of the jelly making without your sister. So happy that you and your dad were able to get through it together.
Sorry about the garden. There just might be time for that next year.
Hugs,

What a good looking family you have! And now a beautiful granddaughter too.
I always enjoy catching up with you and hearing what is going on at your farm. It is hard to believe you don't have a garden this year.
Enjoy your summer!
What good reasons to not have a garden. One of these days I'm gonna come down and get me a jar of that jelly! The pictures were so nice. And yes, that baby's gonna get some hair. Angela only had some in the back for the longest time. She's so sweet and cute. Aren't you a blessed gal! Looking forward to seeing you post more and future wedding pics. I see Adam picked a blonde in keeping with the women in his life. I hope they'll be very happy. I also am sporting a short cut this summer, but looking forward to it growing back! Keep up the good work.
Mitzi, don't know if you'll see this, but thanks for stopping by! Yes, it's terrible that I don't have a garden this year, but I'll be all fired up and ready to go next spring. Maybe I can have a fall garden this year! Take care and you enjoy your summer, too! Vickie
Hi Vicki!!!!
So good to see your sweet face . . . and the first thing I noticed was your cute short haircut, I love it!
You have been a busy lady! One wedding is hard, two weddings in a year can make a mom crazy! But, how rewarding to have your children happy, married and making memories (and babies...;0)! Your granddaughter is adorable, and that cute little bald head will be full of hair before you know it - she's a cutie!
I have had years when I didn't have a garden, it was kind of nice. I had a chance to work on other things that needed done, and the next year we made up for it with a big garden!
I'm so glad you are carrying on the tradition of jelly making with your dad - I know that your sweet sis was with you in spirit, giggling at you, and keeping you company...it's so wonderful to know that the Lord is in control and is there to lean on...(((hugs)))
I love your header picture - I'm pretty sure it's one you painted! It's beautiful!
So good to see you and catch up! Don't stay away too long - we miss you!!
Hugs,
Barb
So good to hear from you! Glad things are going well!
Good to "hear" from you again. You have been busy I can tell!
My thoughts are with you from over here in North Texas.
