Let me take you on a tour outside our home. I am trying to get used to our new camera so bear with me on the photos. While I'm outside the pack stays in their part of the yard.
Well, except for Scrappy, she didn't want to go outside so she's napping on "her chair."
We've had some rain lately and there's more to come. I love it because that means I don't have to water the garden. The peach trees are heavy laden with fruit that will soon be ripe.
In the vegetable garden we have zucchini, lots of tomatoes and some brussel sprouts. Last year we had one zucchini plant and had more than enough but the plants I got came in a four-pack so we'll have loads to share.
Our tomato plants are just starting to have fruit. These are called "Big Mamas" they are a roma with less seeds so they make excellent marinara sauce.
Cherokee Purples that are so tasty.
This is a patch of basil, both Thai purple and regular sweet basil. I planted it last year and let it go to seed and now we have a really nice patch. I love a perennial!!!
The blueberries are doing pretty good. They are young plants but I hope to have enough to make a pie or two.
I found this blooming yesterday. Is this a tiger lily? I don't know, but I like it.
These white daises are to the point of being invasive but they are pretty when they bloom.
This is also a new flower that my mom gave me a few years ago and is just now blooming. I think it's a gladiola,,am I right? Oh, I need to call and ask my mom. She had a bouquet on the table for Father's Day.
While walking around the peach trees I found this bird's nest that fell. I guess they had to start over after the storms. It's so interesting to see that they gather dog hair for the inside of the nest. I see both Speedbump and Charlie hair!!!
Blessings to you all from the holler...
We have had some lazy, rainy days recently. I couldn't help myself from taking these pictures of Scrappy. She has napping down to an art.
Today I picked these peaches. There are more on the counter waiting on me to peel and get in the freezer so it's time to tie the apron strings and giddy-up.

Today I saw a winter picture on another blog and it was so refreshing. It has been really hot and dry here in the holler lately so I decided to post some winter pictures too.
Thinking cool thoughts and blessings to you all from the holler...
This is a couple of males strutting in the front yard. They really make a big show of themselves trying to impress the ladies.
So, pretty soon we'll see the momma turkeys marching their brood up the hill beside us where they roost at night. Of course, I'll try to get a picture of that cuteness.
Blessings to you all from the holler...
Well, maybe gross is the word. But, it's their property so whatever!
Have a great weekend. Blessings from the holler...
