The blueberry farm

The blueberries are here again. And we went pickin'. Beare's Berries in Havana Florida. What a wonderful old couple runs this place and they are usually sitting under a big tree near the weigh station and will chat as long as you want.

We had a nice cool day this year, and there were lots of pink berries still to ripen. But we got about three pounds of nice dark blue ones, and I am making blueberry buckle this afternoon with two cups of them.

Nature's Bounty and dinner too

Tonight my hubby is gone to help Habitat for Humanity by doing a cookout, so I am on my own for dinner and made a wonderful salad. When I got done, I had the urge to take a photo of this year's tomatoes thus far. And there are plenty still on the vine, and we have shared bags full with several friends and our daughter. I just love veggie gardening!!!!! God is so good to provide us with this bounty and it tastes so yummy!

Abigial has been the star lately

Here she is Farmgirl Abigail, after her kindergarten play entitled Peter Rabbit. She officially graduated from kindergarten.

Now summer is officially here, and she was a little quiet as we walked to the car.....I kind of remember that feeling too.

It was so fun to watch from the audience, and hold her little brother Josiah, and for Nana, it was pure pleasure.

Celebrating The Names of Jesus

This was the theme of Abigail's recital this year. Her ballet studio is in a large church, three big studios complete with a wall of mirrors, bars, and wonderful wood floors. But the biggest blessing is that as they learn ballet and tap, they also hear the Word presented in the music and the message of their classes. Her tap number was titled I AM....The Door. Her ballet number was called Light of The World. The music was so beautiful and the children got to learn many of the names of our Savior.....Good Shepherd, King of Kings, Lamb of God...and Redeemer.

Abigail is the dancer on the right in this photo!

Recital Time

Here is Abigail on recital day. She had a tap dance and a ballet dance, got two bouquets of flowers, and ate cookies afterward, so it was all good. As any grandmother will be heard saying, "I can't believe what a young girl she is becoming, growing up so fast!"

I do not believe she wants to return to classes next year, and she will be going to school all day, so this was probably her grand finale.

Josiah gets to sit in big sister's lap!

He is growing, and is just the best baby! But I keep thinking, what is it going to be like with a little boy running around? Those days are just around the corner. Last week, we had the girls for two nights (Tuesday and Wednesday) and almost two days. Julia and Josiah came over for dinner both nights. I slept very well on Thursday night.

Room with a view - from the balcony

Looking down......"our table" is behind one of the palms. Hubby gets up verrrry early in the morning, to watch the sunrise, and also get a table for us to use for the day. It is quite competitive!
