Well, hello blog friends! Did you miss me? Sorry for going away for so long! I’m back with a bit of a summer update.
Since I last saw you, we have celebrated the 4th of July with some local fireworks.
We celebrated the 6th Birthday of my little blog! That one kind of passed by without too much fanfare, but it’s nice to remember that I’ve been chronicling our life here at the Horvath House for 6 years now! Check out our archives and categories at the right for over 300 past posts.
We took a trip to Ohio to visit our good friends in Columbus. While we were there we visited the #1 zoo in the country, Columbus Zoo! There was a tiger that I’m pretty sure wanted me to pet his belly, and I tried to find a way to smuggle out a red panda…
While we were on vacation, the housework fairy visited and cleaned my gutters and the garden fairy came and planted some annuals around and also weedwacked the creekbank (again). Those fairies are awesome!
The rest of the month has passed in a blur of knitting projects…
And hanging out with my little buddies…
I’ve checked off a few house projects like trim painting and garden weeding. We put in a second row of green beans since the first ones weren’t doing well. These are growing fine! Our second crop of corn is also getting ready to make ears.
In between sewing and gardening projects, I’ve also been collaborating with my sister on a little art project for my nephew’s upcoming birthday… I’m illustrating a book for him! (or I’m attempting to.)
Meanwhile the garden keeps growing and the flowers keep blooming, which keeps me smiling and snapping away with my camera!
Summer is winding down… let’s enjoy these last weeks of warm weather and flowers and bountiful crops! :) We’re off to the beach tomorrow to soak up some sun for our last summer hurrah! Have a great weekend!
