Appreciating rural-life
When Matthew and I traveled home for the teensiest, tinsiest visit(only four full days) I spent the entire time just soaking in all the joys of rural life with plants and pets and delicious, home grown treats: Home grown strawberries, lettuce, herbs, zucchini and snow peas. The back yard chickens laying eggs. A little organic dairy farm that produces gorgeous, cream laden milk. A lavender farm grown in full view of Mt. Shasta.
I just took a few photos of it all to remind myself of why I can hardly wait to move back to Oregon.
Onions blossoming
Snow peas in blossom and fully grown. They were delicious.
Peeping through the lattice - my mother-in-law's garden is really thriving.
And though I was extremely disappointed with the photos I took of the hops, I've included a couple for the annual hop update - they are certainly bigger than they were last year and have significantly more hop flowers on them. Maybe there will be enough to do something with next year.
