cowboy caviar..weekly recap...

 

Happy Friday !

Let's do a happy post, shall we?

I have had many moments this week that brought joy.

My chief job was to keep all living things alive in the 100 degree heat.

I rater enjoyed it, sunning myself every day to get in all of that

vitamin D! It was also a great week to do some big projects

like power wash the coops and  replace out some rugs in the house.

But the big deal was finally moving the babies to their

grow out coop. They were so thrilled.

After scrubbing the patio , I found many toads and frogs hiding in

the shade near puddles. This guy was brilliant at hiding... can you see him?

I also had visits from my cousin who brought me back treats from her trip to Ireland

and Scotland... yum! & her photos were lovely.

 I just love hearing peoples trip stories and of course she got me a 

rock :).

Our newlyweds came down from their honeymoon to visit before traveling

back home. We got to meet their new baby... a darling puppy.

Our grandson loved him so much...

( we had him for a few days as well)

To say that my summer is already off to a sweet start& slow start....is accurate.

I have been making time for connection, real connection.

Time for the forest, the river and to just sit in the sunshine.

A slow life is a full life and to be honest I am up at sunrise ( 5ish ) and stay 

outside way after sunset. 

My days are full.

When you keep your eyes on your own paper and focus on

your own life rather than whatever everyone else is doing

it reminds you of what is important.

I have been trying new ( old) recipes.

I vaguely remember my mom making this

back in the day.

Different take on salsa and stands up at a picnic .

Simple...yummy even all of these years later.

( this is from the '70's)

To live a simple life in a world where chaos and confusion is the norm, and where people

   chase the trend rather than think for themselves.... is brave.

I am learning every day how to navigate it all while finding joy

in the every day. There is always something to grateful for.

And no, that does not negate whatever difficult moments you are having,

rather it empowers you to find the positive and rewards you with a good life.

Happy Friday my friends!
