It isn't easy, it's lots of give and take and lots of love, and you've made it work! We've had endless rain here so far this summer too, and that's so very unusual for us, but it is helping tremendously with dust and keeping the risk of wildfires down, so we are grateful. A new licensed driver in the house... what a blessing with so many to transport to activities, and a great new role of responsibility for him! I love that you are so busy reaping the rewards of your gardening, it reminds me a time when more people did that, and it's such a healthy way to live. I just came from reading your commentary on the Supreme Court decision, you handled a tough subject with grace and dignity.

Once you get over the initial fear and panic of having him drive, that is. <br />I should have put a spoiler alert on my post about your (maybe) cat! My bad. I hope he (she) comes back, even if it's to live somewhere else (peacefully). We've had a cat hanging around outside our house for the past few weeks. He's a big guy and uber friendly. Seems like he's fed, but we don't know if he belongs to anyone or not. Thinking about putting a collar on him with a note to make sure he has a home, because, while I DO NOT want another cat, I don't want this fellow to be hungry and homeless, either.<br />Post it. If we all thought exactly the same way, then we'd be living in Stepford.Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-49180803860783686502015-06-28T21:24:31.156-04:002015-06-28T21:24:31.156-04:00…we might be needing a syllabus for the Clues to s...…we might be needing a syllabus for the Clues to solve 'The Mystery of the Missing scott'clarkhttp://www.wakefielddoctrine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-38849757993523147972015-06-28T19:33:41.653-04:002015-06-28T19:33:41.653-04:00oy... too much for me today....

I'm certain there's a tremendous sense of accomplishment and wonder when you've managed to grow a prolific vegetable producing garden and done so much canning. I can definitely relate to the landscaping thing. Our first year in Florida we went from being Oliver and Lisa Douglas to Euell Gibbons and Annie Oakley lol But it really is a great feeling to see a place transformed knowing you did it by your own hard work:)<br />I hope Phoenix passes with flying colors!<br />GirlieOnTheEdgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226101556766074271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-49450214154065334062015-06-28T18:27:05.517-04:002015-06-28T18:27:05.517-04:00Thank you!

Thankfully, where we live, plants can take care of themselves for the most part. We aren't the kind of gardeners that water our plants. :)<br /><br />Our daughter just started her classes, too. She's doing them online, which is boring but way easier on me. Do you all have the 50 hours of drive time as well? Those are ridiculously hard to get when you have a big family. Good luck!<br /><br />We are busy, but from the looks of your blog, you know exactly what that feels like. :) The thankful hop is wonderful for connecting.

When I got home from the store today, I went to put the groceries in the fridge only to discover FOUR bags of green beans in the fridge. Bryan had picked them while I was gone. Between the beans and the 16 dozen eggs, I'm glad I only bought one gallon of milk. It barely fit. Guess what I'll be doing tonight.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-81004806366519061522015-06-28T18:20:50.790-04:002015-06-28T18:20:50.790-04:00Thank you.Thank you.Tigermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386636767916316587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-4762627579836751122015-06-28T18:19:58.475-04:002015-06-28T18:19:58.475-04:00I know!
