July was a month of bbq’s with great friends, many 4-H meetings, baby chicks, HOT weather, gardening, and allergies! Despite the sneezing, runny noses, and watery eyes it was a wonderful, busy month.
We started off the month by celebrating the 4th of July with a family trip to the beautiful San Juan Islands. It was a great trip and so wonderful to see family that we hadn’t seen for a while. Visiting the beach was also wonderful!
Two days after we got home from our little vacation our meat chicks arrived!
They are the girls 4-H projects. To read more about our meat chickens click here.


We have an AWESOME group of people from our church that came out and joined us for a taco feed and go-kart party. Our go-cart track goes through our hay field and it’s about three-fourths of a mile long. As you can see from the picture this is not a clean sport! Everyone was sooooooo dirty but it was a blast!






Hope all of you had a great July! In August I’m looking forward to our county fair and preserving the harvest from my garden.

Beautiful family and beautiful garden. What weeds? Look the chickies!
Thanks Barbara, glad you stopped by!
