Summer brings her familiar gifts each year.
Our taste buds receive the bounty as we grace our tables with her delights.
Our eyes are delighted by her beauty.
Joining Vee on Postcard Wednesday I have gathered past post pictures which might make a good post card to be sent to entice others to enjoy summer.
Mosaics of Summer Bounty
Peaches and Blackberry Cobbler with Ice Cream
Canning - Garden or Local Farmer's Market Produce
Since this butterfly eats my dill/fennel when it is a caterpillar I added it also. We have just caught our first caterpillar this year and waiting for the metamorphic process. In the mean time I add it as one of the Beauties of Summer.
They certainly speak beautifully of summer and would make lovely note cards or, if you prefer, post cards. I'd take them either way. And, technically speaking, you could add a fourth, if you'd like. =D
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in again, Janette!
Wonderful pictures! Hugs and blessings, Cindy

ReplyDeleteJust lovely Janette. You look like you are having such a great summer.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say thanks to you for being such a prayer warrior. Not one email since you asked if you could pray. Not a single one. I am still amazed at your prayers and God's goodness. So Thank you very much.
This time in seven years is the first year we arn't planting a garden and your post makes me home-sick for my garden :( - this enjoyed your post though and now I'm starving - lol
ReplyDeletePerfect photos for the first day of summer!
ReplyDeleteThose peaches got my mouth watering! Yum!

Hi Janette,
ReplyDeleteyour postcards certainly brought a lovely and welcome touch of summer to me today!
Here in wint'ry Australia, I am sitting by a woodfire dreaming of just the sort of things I can see in your beautiful Note-Cards :-)
Have a blessed day..Trish
Love all your Notecard pics, especially the collage. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so pretty for summer time cards. I love the butterfly...it's so hard to get a good photo of them! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos, definitely put me in the mood for summer (ready or not it is nearly 100 degrees here). I had strange looking bugs eat all my dill, and I thought they were unusually colored, I had no idea they would morph into beautiful butterflies (I sprayed the pot, now I feel very badly). :(
ReplyDeleteSuch summery photos are perfect for the note card party!
ReplyDeleteGreat note card ideas! I especially love the last one with the butterfly! That is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting me at my blog!

ReplyDeleteIt's only 6 a.m. and really too early to eat, but my stomach is telling me I would love to have that peach and blackberry cobbler :) Great photo.
ReplyDeleteSummer bounty for sure! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 'bounty of summer' photo collection! They would make amazing note card pic's.
ReplyDeleteDear Janette, Beautiful pictures and beautiful post! I hope you are having a wonderful summer so far...stay cool! Blessings to you dear one, Catherine xo
ReplyDeleteI'm so late to the party! I have been a bit on overdrive for the past few days.
ReplyDeleteThese are great, and they really would make a great notecard. You've actualy given me an idea of a great way to make little post cards to send. Mosaics!
I love your pretty cards....I would buy them in a New York minute. :))

Janette,
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful visit I had at your blog place this evening. Your name's been on my heart these past days... so tonight, I decided to drop by here and find out the latest about you.
These summer pictures are beautiful, I just love peaches and icecream!
And, I so enjoyed reading about your 32nd anniversary post. Beautiful pictures. That farm is really my kind of place.
And I loved the inspirational words you wrote at the end:
-sometimes the work is worth it
-sometimes small is better than large
-sometimes you just need a vision
=sometimes God can create something in your second half of life that was greater than the first
-all things are possible
I enjoyed my visit here. Glad to know all is well.
Much love
Lidia
My stomach began growling as I viewed those yummy photos Janette! I wish I lived closer to you friend.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment to me Janette and encouragement It's very weird but I know He's allowed what's happened...there's a purpose...
Hope your weekend shines like you...
