Glimpses of July

At first, I wasn’t sure I’d have enough photos to make a dedicated post for July … but when I started looking back through my camera roll, it was full of moments that made my heart smile {and when you’re battling a Summer cold, those are worth double!}. I hope these glimpses of JOY and BEAUTY and WONDER bring a smile to your heart as well.

For the first time in a long time, I saw fireworks.
The sunset skies have been mesmerizing,
and also giving “late-late-Summer” vibes.
Does it get more “Summer” than this?
Sunflower at my mom’s; loving the color.
It has been an excellent year for baby bunnies.
This little guy was trying to move into my potted rose,
so I relocated him to the honeysuckle thicket.
Spider season seems to be starting early …
The “scrap pile” peach tree actually had fruit!
Garden harvests make you feel rich.
We got an ear of corn!
The luffa gourd blooms are so HUGE.
As are the gourds themselves.
Buckwheat cover crop, tallest it’s ever grown.
Luffa gourd vines on the right, also tall.
Tiny little hen, enormous personality + opinions.
Heidi loves being outside, and sitting on her perch.
Anyone know what kind of chicken she is? Definitely not a Barred Rock …
These always feel like the end of Summer/late August to me.

I hope July was kind to you, and that as we transition into August and those golden, late Summer days, there are countless moments of beauty to make your heart smile. It’s the little things that make life special, and sometimes the small joys are the biggest wins.
