Strawberry Pickin'

It's summer!  And nothing says summer is here quite like a bowl of fresh sweet strawberries!  And, since they happen to be one of my favorite things I love having free labor to help pick them!  (Note: I don't think I violate any child labor laws in the pictures to follow!) 

Look Linds, red hands!

Off to work!

Ava is looking for the perfect strawberry!

So many to choose from!

It's hard work...

Makayla found the biggest one!

Field trip success!

 

Gone Fishin'

For Father's Day Graham had one request...he wanted the three of us to go fishing!  So that's just what we did!  We made our way to this little honey hole:

And Graham caught at least 15 or so of these very little guys:

Wells found them very amusing and wanted to play!  He just couldn't understand why he couldn't hold them!

But he did learn the basics of the sport from his daddy:

While Graham was busy doing this:

Wells and I did a little fishing our on way:

With bread!  Needless to say we didn't have as much luck as Graham so we moved on to better things! 

...like splashing!  Now doesn't this just look like a little boys heaven!

It was such a fun field trip!  I highly recommend it!  And it really is true!  "It's not the fishin'...It's the time together!"

FORE!

It's Masters Week!  Which means one thing...my TV will not leave the Golf Channel until coverage starts on CBS...fun for me, right?  Yea, not so much!  However, I do love admiring the scenery at Augusta National.  The azaleas could not be more beautiful!  And since Graham did an internship in college at a local golf course he knows some of the inside scoop about the upkeep and maintenance of these amazing plants which makes them ever the more interesting to me!  So to get into the swing of things (haha!) I thought I would show you guys a few blooms from my yard!  It's doesn't hold a candle to some that you may see on TV this week but I love them!

 I think these guys are one of the greatest things about living in a older home!  Graham and I always look forward to Spring to see all of the different colors.  The first year that we lived in our house it was so fun to watch them bloom because we had no idea what they would look like!

 For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty!

 Love love love this coral color!

This one is by far my favorite!  It doesn't fully bloom until late Spring so here's just a sneak peek of the beautiful color!
I hope you have a really beautiful Tuesday!
