And the family name you bear……

July...

I told myself I would be better at blogging.. sigh... sometimes life gets so busy in the living that there is no energy or time for the blogging..

irony:  /'irene/

Three ladies heading out the door by a quarter to six in the morning, working all day at projects that will provide nutritious food for the people they love.  Only to fall back through the door at 3:30 in the afternoon so exhausted that they call the people they love and tell them that if they want to eat tonight they had better bring home a pizza.


yes..that is us..... busy. Yet, in the busy there is always the beautiful... happy July.




One of the reasons my July is so beautifully busy.
Preston joined Cody and Sarah's family in May.
Love this little man with all that I am.



Fall wheat is so very close...



Our Saviour shows us His love for diversity..


Believe it or not I did take some time to sit in the sun.
researching bulls for our new herd of heifers.




We began harvesting garlic...






  and downy ducks were hatching like Mayflies...



we spent time in the blue berry patch..

 







as well as the blackberry....





and uncovered hidden treasures...



The splits I made this Spring are flourishing.




I even had an unexpected guest drop by for a light lunch..




And as always Grace was willing to take us on a tour of the garden.













I pray you are taking time to breathe in the beauty of Summer....

May...

Having young ladies in our home adds a texture and a warmth that would have other wise been missing in day to day living... for example this morning I found my hive tools beautifully embellished with fanciful artwork....




My young ladies, however, also add balance. Lest my life should feel too sappy or charmed they leave reminders that they are also Holversons and Holversons keep it real....







If you were unaware of how bees make honey (it really isn't as graphic as all that but) I apologize.  Here are softer pictures......




































May your day be beautiful....
