a summer tour

we’ve been living outside soaking up the long days of summer.
i wanted to share with you a little tour of our garden…

the side view of our humble little plot


beautiful heirloom tomatoes ripening on the vine


a sweet little butternut squash in a bed of mulch


the cosmos have finally bloomed!


my favorite… false queen ann’s lace


cheery sunflowers buzzing with bees

cucumbers growing on our handmade trellis of dried bamboo & string


basil plants ready to be harvested & made into pesto


bright & colorful zinnias


chamomile ready to be harvested, dried & made into tea


a bouquet of summer’s beauty

also, i just wanted to thank you so much for your kind comments! i left feeling so encouraged by your similar thoughts about being unplugged at home. it really has made a difference. i think we are going to stick with it.
in other news, we finally wrote about our recent trip to brazil over on {our blog}! please read if you have a few minutes.
finally, i’m working on a new update for the etsy shop… a lot of new & exciting things will be up in the next few weeks!

i hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend. enjoy the final hours of your sunday evening!

love,
natalie
