Homemaking Mondays: Summer Days

 

Hello! 
Summer days bring such delight.

The garden is starting to produce some more eatable items. 

It's fun to bring in herb bouquets to add to our meals.

Then there are the fridge pickles.  

I use a recipe from the Prairie Homestead Cookbook. 

Now the hard part is waiting until they're ready. 

The poppies are starting to bloom and it's beautiful 

the variety of colours that are coming out.

My family took a lovely trip 

to a nearby lake and the water is so high.  

The flooding is getting bad, and the wind 

blowing the waves against the shore 

is not helping matters. 

So beautiful though. 

Summer markets at the community centre have 

begun again, and I've got a table with 

some jams for sale.

With the summer days things seem to be moving at a different pace.

It is nice to just have some rest, but also 

to take the time for some things that can only be done in summer.

We've played some frisbee golf at our local community centre.

Spent time on the lake, 

picking wildflowers in the forest,

and just standing still to feel

the warm breeze on our faces. 

Summer is lovely when we stop to take note

of it's simple gifts. 

I love that the Lord has given such attention to 

the details of summer.

Thank you for dropping by! 

Love and Prayers,

Jennifer
