A Summer recipe:

Take one large grassy field, one half-dozen children, three furry

dogs, and walk along a narrow strip of creek, pebbly if possible.

Mix the children with the dogs thoroughly, empty them into the field,

stirring occasionally.

Sprinkle the entire with daisies, buttercups and dandelions. Pour

creek gently over pebbles

and cover all with a periwinkle sky and bake in hot sun for several

hours.

When children are thoroughly browned, they may be removed.

They will be found right & ready for setting away to cool in the

bathtub.

The chicken pen needs another support:

And this one, Dulce, appears to be a rooster after all.

Concerning the garden, I’ve been the epitome of lazy this past week. A garden needs tending daily or it quickly gets out of hand.

    Want to make a Carolina Stir Fry?  I’ll provide the wok and the arm to stir.

    😉

    Thank you for the beautiful pictures and the great open spaces vibes.

  2. And I do note, that Monsieur LePooch* is making sure everything is in order.

    Absolutely loved “firefly TV.”  

    *(that’s how it should have been said in the first place– pertains to female and male gender nouns, etc.)

  3. You have a very nice green thumb.

    Is it bedtime after “Firefly TV”?
