Driftin Away

Yes folks, the year is indeed, drifting away.  Almost through August and Fall is in the air here.  The past few mornings have been in the mid 60's.  Perfect for walkies.  Here's some pics

grapes gone wild!

now where was that other flower?

hey butterfly, hey hey, butterfly, hey over here

Lily, will you look at these guns?

Oh man!  Can we just walk?

We've also gotten a bit of rain.  Not near enough to fill the pond, but enough to keep the okra going and the new cukes growing and the weeds thriving.

Jim picked up a new used mower for the church last week, but it was too big to fit in the shed, so I am taking my old mower over there.  I got a push mower for the church yard too, so no excuses as to why I haven't cut the grass.  While we were there, we put the lock on the door and got stung by some VERY aggressive wasps.  I don't usually get stung, but these were vicious, so we had to destroy their nest.  I felt bad, but I can't get stung every time I mow.  I also put up our wildlife habitat sign.  Our church yard is certified as a habitat.  I don't think any other church in our synod has this.  Too cool.  Thanks God.

Oh, I forgot bug art from walkies.

And one tree art

mosquito?

We have managed to go through 3/4 of the free case of wine already.  I need another contest.  I am also reconsidering entering my strawberry wine in some sort of contest as well.  It seems to be aging well in the bottle and is clearing up.  I'll have to see what kind of contests are available.  A lot of the wineries have them and so does the state fair and the muscadine wine fest in kenansville.  

AATC:

the baybays are getting so big.  They just grow too fast.  The rooster buppies are starting to get their tail feathers.  I have pretty much decided that I am getting rid of all four roosters when Jim takes his to market.  By that time, the hen buppie will be ready to join the rest of the flock, and I think one of the baybay's will be a rooster, so I will have one in the future, but I do NOT want anymore chicks for a while.

So, the drought is over, the mornings are cool, there is wine, life is good.
