| 7/01/2010 July has dawned as a beautiful summer day here in the midwest. The light coming to the morning sky is one of my most favorite shows to watch. These days I am up fairly early to greet the dawn while sipping hot coffee and holding the little dog. I walk each morning and these days I am wearing long pants and a hooded sweatshirt. I cover up to discourage the hungry mosquitoes. Today we chased a deer up the road. |

| 6/30/2010 June has come and gone. It has been a very wet month. The river was up and out of it's banks, but is back down again. I really like living next to the west fork of the Big Blue river. When I can walk outside and hear it rushing by it is a bit worrying. We have been lucky and even when it is high it has never been threatening. I get to see beavers swimming in the back water when the river is out of it's banks. I really enjoy that. The water left standing has allowed the mosquito population to explode. Just walking outside is difficult. |

| 5/16/2010 Time seems to slip by me. I haven't a clue why I haven't updated this site in a month. I have been working in the gardens. I have flower sadness this Spring. I am unable to find my very favorite petunia. It is Dolci Flambee petunia and besides having an outrageous name it is utterly beautiful all summer long. So I am so very sad and have been substituting its poor relations. |

| 4/20/2010 My sinuses are swollen and my eyes just so itchy but I can not stay inside to save myself. The yard calls to me. I love poking around in this garden then that one. Seeing all the plants coming up and all the bulbs blooming is too exciting. I truly love the Spring, especially after our long snowy winter. |

| 4/19/2010 The mornings dawn cold and frosty but the sunny days warm up nicely and it is so nice to be outside. The gardens are coming on. Many flowers are blooming and others are pushing up promising blooms in the future. The fruit trees are blooming. A very old pear tree in our other pasture is covered by blooms. You can see right through a whole in its trunk and it just keeps keeping on year after year. |
