Garden Pictures and Selfies

 

Here we are standing on the threshold of June. I am saying good bye to May, who I think was quite a month. Don't you agree? I hope June is say a bit more temperate. Today is a beautiful morning. The sky is robin's egg blue, the sound of doves cooing all in the trees. Mockingbirds fighting and the blue jays scolding. The hummingbirds are really chattering today. A new batch must be learning to fly. They are so tiny no bigger than an inch. I could see how they could be mistaken for fairies.

Prettiest garden I have had in a long time, well since last year.

Before Ron trimmed them up.

This morning Ron trimmed all of the lower limbs. Now they look much nicer and I can give them their shot of manure tea this evening. I have so many tomatoes. That is a first for a couple of years to have this many tomatoes this early.

Isn't that nice? To see pretty green tomatoes?

I have to tell you a funny story. On June first, we have to cut our water consumption by 35 percent, Governor's orders. So last night we were rereading the guide lines. We can only water three days a week, no washing sidewalks or driveways. Things like that.  They are using your past water usage totals from 2013.
Guess what we were doing in 2013?

Em's Wedding

Yep, Emilie and Nik's wedding. We poured water on this place. We had so many people here every weekend. We watered this lawn three times a day not to mention how much I washed every thing over and over. It was crazy. We laughed and laughed about that. We have cut our water anyway but they will charge you if you go over your 2013 bills. We both thought it was one of those nice God things. He always looks out for us even when we don't know it.

We are already eating peppers out of the garden. I am so happy that we have these lovely peppers already. Ron makes wonderful omelets for us on weekends and we are really spoiled to getting our own produce.

Okay now the selfie part of this post.

Sasha Selfie. 

 She was not happy about a selfie.

Chicken Selfie

Chickens like to be photographed, but then there are the ones who want to photobomb.

 

She is a sitting hen, who got off the nest to get a picture of herself.

A Cat Selfie

This is Socks. I thought she did the Selfie thing the way a cat would. I thought it was very funny. I never could get her to look at me.

I think it is such a nice thought to think Summer is Here!
Have a lovely day,

It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside. ~Maud Hart Lovelace, Betsy-Tacy and Tib, 1941
