House for sale!

We listed our house last week and accepted an offer.  It's been our home for 15 years!  I will miss it, but am ready for a bit more land.  These photos above were taken by the photographer who works with our realtor.

We've told some people about the place we plan to move to, but for now, I will keep it private. The house we put an offer down on, a few weeks ago, is not definite, as I believe it is a foreclosure, it has to be approved by the court.

Our hibiscis flowers are blooming and looking beautiful! There's a wee bunny who has moved in under the shed, can you see her under the pink hibiscis?  Our pears look lovely.  I wonder if we will get to eat any, or the squirrels, or the new owner. The thunderstorms the past couple of weeks brought a lot of wind and we lost a couple of limbs off the peach tree. 

A speckled egg from our barred rock hens today!  Hope you have a nice weekend.

Summer

Two 2 year olds just hanging out together.  I admire the beauty of the avocado pit, similar to the color of the wood beads in my bracelets.
Fresh cucumbers from the garden!  Thanks to my sister for sharing them with us.
Those giant hibiscis flowers are beautiful, aren't they?  My mom and Paul at the concert in the park last week, above, and an old cool car.  
Three boys all ready for Sunday!These are my grandparents.  I've been going through photos, such a joy to me.  
A lot of thunderstorms recently and beautiful skies. One daughter and I got NEW driver's licenses.  Our other daughter took the boys out for ice cream.  Guess what flavor George had...
Hope your summer is going well!

Little bicycles

These guys like to ride their wee bicycles.
We got sparklers to celebrate the 4th of July.
I had my Piper sandals resoled!  Dave and John Piper are a father and son team in San Antonio, TX who make these sandals.  
Rhubarb and flowers from a friend who lives on the street behind ours.  We made these muffins:  https://thymeandlove.com/vegan-rhubarb-muffins/
More sparklers, with friends.  We caught fireflies, too, then set them free before the evening was up.  Summer is my favorite season!
