A Sparrow's Home

How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Psalm 84:1-4

back home

with

many things needing attention

  • flowers,
  • garden,
  • berry fields,
  • not to mention family events - an old Island summer tradition - everyone "comes home" even if PEI was "home" only to their great grandparents.

Summer chores go on, even in the midst of the social whirlwind.

8am this morning found Roger and me in the berry fields


it was a perfect morning for strawberry picking ~ the sun was shining, but not too hot,

and there was a lovely fresh breeze off the bay below the fields.

 We were a little nervous that we might miss the berries while we were off to Nfld

but there were plenty left.

Beautiful ripe berries

 46 pounds in an hour's picking.

and this afternoon?

Crush, boil and bottle.

Preserving sweet summer in a jar.

Happy days

with love,

46 pounds in an hour...you guys are good! :0)
They look beautiful.
And fyi...I didn't buy a thing in that shop. I have a really hard time paying retail prices for goodies.
Have fun preserving the strawberry summer!

Look at all those strawberries! They are beautiful! I love the shot with the water pump and a glimpse of the water.

Wow! So many beautiful things its hard to know what to comment on! But that swimming hole looks so refreshing, I'm sure it would be worth the hike up there.
