June times

 

Happy Summer, from Callie the Barn Kitty (she came with the house) LOL

This is her beau, Gray. He's a nice boy, but won't come near us. He WILL show up for supper, LOL.

Our crepe myrtle finally bloomed! yay! I do so enjoy it!

I love this old coffeepot! I found it at the thrift store back in the Fall.

After I'd gone a few shelves over in the thrift store.....I came upon this big heavy tray. It probably was donated with the coffeepot, but not sure.

Also this pretty canvas painting:

And the little black kitty, so now our white kitty has a friend.

I was very glad to bring my new treasures back to our home!

Summer has sure arrived! It's been very HOT HERE. And humid. Our gardens are doing great and producing ALOT. 

Yesterday in the cool of sunrise, Mr. Front Porch harvested the taters! Lots of good ones this year.

Fried squash and fried green "maters"...........some of my favorite good eating!

I don't remember if I posted these or not, but we had buckets of blackberries too!

This year we decided to try something new........these are baby watermelons!

We've never grown watermelons before, so it' s fun watching them grow.

Our little baby keets were so TINY this spring:

Now they are big girls! And one boy.

They are so noisy! I love their calls, squawks, hollering! LOL

On the way to the compost pile:

bowl of coffee grounds for my roses:
