This is a love story, a tale of a woman who planted vegetable seeds instead of lawns...
And now every day I get to harvest food just by stepping out my front door. I used a lot of this in our supper tonight, made a mean hodge podge.
And it gets even better than that. All around our home are varieties of berries growing wild, right now it's blueberry season and today I baked a pie.
It's already all gone, sorry... @hendrix22 invited his parents over so there's none left for you :( The kids are already asking me when the next one will be made, I told 'em whenever they decide to help me pick more berries LOL. That was back breaking work!
I'd love to show you a few more photos from our day today, and around our little homestead.
It was a holiday in Nova Scotia, Canada today, so Dad was home, the perfect day to go enjoy the beautiful North Atlantic ocean that we're lucky enough to have in our backyard. Our neighbours are so nice, they always let us use their dock and even their little boat. You'll never meet nicer folk than you do in this part of Canada. I know, I've travelled a LOT in this country.
Some of the cool boats in our little cove, classic Maritimes fishing boats. You see these everywhere here.
And I don't just plant food, I do plant flowers as well. The bees have sure been loving the sunflowers!
And I can't show you around without including our Feathered Family (don't want them to feel left out and stop laying eggs lol they know they are Steemit Stars).
Grace and a lot of chicks, looks like some of the other Mother hens have left her babysitting, because those are not all hers.
Mr. Pendock, the father of the 36 baby chicks that just hatched. Well done Ser.
Don't you just love the colours on her! She is named Wingboots Junior.
And of course how could I leave out Don King? The official Steemit chicken who was named by @mother2chicks last week.
Okay, this is turning into a lengthly post for my standards, how about just a few more photos, of my favourite flower, the Cosmo. These bad boys can grow up to 10 feet tall!
Okay, I lied about it being over...how bout just a few more photos of some poppies? HAHAA now you can see why I'm always so happy...
These are all my seeds, I'm just waiting for the pod to turn brown then it's time to bring them inside.
Beautiful poppy flower hey?
