Purchased some fresh local snap beans and yes, we call them snaps. Mom always did. They are fresh and do snap when taking off the ends.
A walk outside to check on the sunflowers. So pretty and have a nice light fragrance.
Reaching for the sun
Yes indeedy. The sheets were hung out today to dry. This is across our driveway to side yard. I don't mind a bit hanging them out. I don't care if others around her do either.
The lavender plant is still producing lavender wands as I call them. I have picked so many already for sachets.
Swamp hibiscus with quite a few buds. I have been drowning the beetles in soapy water that love to feed on them and it has cut down the population as I do not see as many these past few days.
Back to work I go
Your yard looks beautiful including your sheets on the line. We love hanging our sheets outside in the summertime, spring and fall, too). They smell unbelievable . . . it's amazing what the sunshine can do to them. If you want to know what the sun smells like, have a sweet night under line dried sheets :) I know that you know what I mean, but maybe you will encourage someone to try it that has never had that experience.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sumner!!!

I have a GREAT snaps recipe! But it's really not a summer recipe. Remind me in the fall. (or email me.) :) Have a great rest of the weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice post full of all of my favorite things--Snaps, sheets on the line, flowers. Who could ask for anything more? I adore your sunflowers and wish I had enough sun to grow them! Since moving our clothesline last year I've been having issues with the birds and my sheets on the line! I told them I'd feed them if they made sure they left the sheets alone, but this week they didn't listen! Stay cool, my friend. ♥
ReplyDeleteI love snap beans! I cook mine with new potatoes left in their jackets sitting on top. And I would like it if everyone had a clothesline in their yard. We haven't gotten around to it here yet but I have the perfect and handy place for one all picked out. Your photographs really say summertime!
