It’s not summer here for another couple weeks according to the calendar.
Hmm. Guess the summer wildflowers didn’t get the memo.

Hey girl, you just made my day!! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
I just stepped outside and took these. So fun. I LOVE summer!
Sometimes missing the memo is a good thing!
Yes ma’am, I agree. You even got a chuckle out of me with your observation. 😊😊
Pretty wildflowers, Jessica. I’m always amazed how many colors,
shapes and sizes they come in!
How’s all your moving and house selling activity going?
Hi. Thank you so much. There is a beautiful variety in wildflowers.
No luck yet on selling our lake cabin. It’s been on the market 2 months and not one person has been in it to look!! So… our move is at a stand still.
I’m sorry to hear that. I’m sure you would like to be on your way ASAP.
At first I was upset and mad because it’s not selling and I have half a house full of packed things. Plus, we had all these plans about making new friends, joining a new 4H, etc THERE, so not getting anywhere made me really feel stuck…in transition. But, after a few weeks of that I came to the realization that we don’t HAVE to wait to make friends and live our life.
I decided to join a new homeschool co-op here. We are making new friends here. We are enjoying our house here. Like a lightbulb moment for me. What I realized is I can’t control who buys our cabin and when, so when it happens, it happens. I am at total peace with that now. But, it was a process to get to this point.
Moving is SO stressful, even when everything falls into place. And being a control freak, I understand how hard it can be to wait for things to come together.
I’m glad you have been able to move forward.
Oh, I’m so happy to hear you are a control freak, too!! Ha ha! Well, I finally figured out that being mad about the cabin was making me miserable and time doesn’t stop- so might as well enjoy whatever time we have left here…
I love all of your beautiful photos!
Goodness, how sweet. Thank you so much!
Beautiful photos – thanks for sharing. :)
Hi. Thank you! Hope you’re doing well.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!! I am so glad you shared with us.
Hi Faye. Thank you. I’ve missed you. I haven’t posted for weeks– brain is stuck. They are unique, aren’t they? If you’ve walked beans like I have, who would’ve thought a thistle could be so pretty?? Ha!
I still walk beans!!! And the goldfinches love those thistles. I now leave a small patch behind my garden for them.
I am not blogging as much either…just a busy time of year and yes a stuck brain also LOL.
Two beans in a pod instead of peas. Ha. You still walk beans??? I thought they did away with that. Chemicals and such. I didn’t know goldfinches loved them. I’ll have to watch these. We have lots of finches at the feeder.
Oh good, glad your brain is stuck, too. Maybe I won’t be so far behind on reading your posts!! Ha!!
A lot of the weeds are becoming chemical resistant so people are starting to cultivate and walk them again. Harder on us but probably better on the environment!
Ohhhhh. I read something about how the weeds and bugs are outsmarting the pesticides.
Gorgeous photos!! Loved them. Thanks for sharing with us. :-)
Wow! Thank you so much! How are you?
You’re welcome. :-) I’m good, tho a bit stressed with everything going on (IE-school/son’s accident, etc) How about you?
Uh oh, son’s accident? I missed something.
He had an accident. Broke his right wrist and both bones in lower left leg. He had surgery and now has a metal rod INSIDE one of the leg bones. 😆
Oh my goodness. That sounds painful. Hope he recovers quickly.
He’s off his feet for a few more weeks all while trying to finish school and take finals. He’s in good spirits considering.
Thank goodness for good spirits and the amazing healing power of the human body.
Indeed! :-)
I haven’t blogged or read blogs in a couple weeks. I’ve been researching and reading medical issues/ books on natural healing. I think I read 6 books in a week! Brain overload! Doesn’t leave much room for writing- ha.
Trust me, I completely understand!
Oh good! :)
Love it – they remind me of those childhood summerdays sitting in the fields of flowers :)
Oh my gosh- what an amazing visual! I’m so glad you commented!! Love the idea of children in flower filled fields 🌻🌸. How are you doing? Sorry I’m so behind on blog reading. Love your blog!
It’s probably because we have been talking about that with mum :) I’m really good, few more weeks of work before the holidays. That’s so sweet, thank you – and no worries, happens to me all the time as well!
Love talking about childhood days with my momma, too. Yay for the upcoming holidays for you. :)
Lovely wild flowers. I hope you manage to sell and life flows beautifully for you. 😍
You are very sweet. Thank you so much. How are you doing?
I am doing much better and hoping for a quiet summer. How are you?
Oh, hooray!! I am so happy to hear that. I am doing pretty great. Thank you.
Brilliant. 😊
I’m perfectly OK with the summer flowers arriving before summer!
Me, too!! Are you back from Canada?
Yup – got back last week. Slowly getting back into blogging mode!
I hear ya. I haven’t even been anywhere and I’ve been a bit out of blogging mode. What did the pets think when you got home?? Bet they were excited to see you!!
They were actually asleep when I got home – I don’t think Choppy heard the garage door open or shut, because Schooner definitely beat her down the stairs to say hello!
Schooner is quite a character!! Bet Choppy was sure surprised to wake up and find you home!
She came down shortly after Schooner. Perhaps Choppy got started first, but Schooner just be her because he’s a speedy little feline.
Oh, I see!!
I guess they wanted to come early. Beautiful. 🌻🌸🌷🌻
I was going to ask how the move is going Jess but I just read your comments to Sandy. Sounds like you’re in a good place though.
Hey girl, I was just thinking the other day that I haven’t talked to you in a looooooong time. I am on the runaway train of “not getting any blogs read”. What’s new an ocean away? Been camping lately? Still working? How are the kids, Doug, and Harry?
Yes, I decided to let go of the “why isn’ts” and live my life. So much freedom in that.
Hey Jessica, great to hear from you. Life goes on here as usual, we’re all well, ups and downs you know, but we’re heading off for a big camping/road trip in a couple of weeks time, which I’m really looking forward to. It’s something we’ve wanted to do for years, travelling right up the heart of Australia to Uluru. My job didn’t work out, my boss put an end to that but that’s in the past.
Glad to hear that you’re feeling that freedom. Life’s too short to worry about things that we have no control over. Take care Jess. Big hugs to you and your lovely family. xo 🌷💕
I wondered about that job. You never said much about it again after I tried to get you to quit… I thought maybe I offended you or sounded bossy. Your camping trip sounds divine. Glad you get to go somewhere you’ve always wanted to go. Excited for you.
You would never offend me Jess! The job sounded perfect but unfortunately the boss had her own ideas. I wrote all about it in Beware of Snakes.
I’ll have to read it. I’m behind. Health issues. I’ve had my nose in health/ healing books for 3 weeks at least. I’ve only written two blog posts in 4 weeks… Hope to figure this illness out soon. Then, I can get caught up on blog reading I hope.
I’m sorry to hear that Jess. Hope you’re okay and hope you can figure out what’s going on. Thinking of you. 💜
Thank you❤️
Getting a test done soon, so hopefully answers will follow.
Hope so, at least then you’ll know what you’re dealing with. Good luck Jess xo 🌹
Thank you.
Lovely photographs, Jessica. Flowers are so wonderful!
Hi, how are you doing? Thank you. I am a flower fan myself. Thank you for your kind comments.
