| The garden has been producing massive results this summer! I've been picking the harvest in 5-gallon buckets, and things have been lining up on my porch waiting their turn to be processed or given away. |
 |
| I grew tomatillos this year, and I've been canning enchilada sauce and tomatillo salsa as my tomatillos have been producing a massive amount of produce. |
 |
I've been experimenting with zucchini pickles... since of course the zucchini and yellow squash also have been mass producing in my garden. These garden pickles turned out amazing!  |

One evening in July we had a summer thunderstorm come through. Unfortunately, it sparked many wildfires (in the wilderness areas, thankfully none close to us), but the storm left in its wake, this gorgeous rainbow!

The next morning... it felt like fall had made an early visit, as the storm left cooler temperatures in its wake and fog settled over our world.

| One weekend in July we rode our quads with a large group of friends. We made our way through beautiful forests and mountain scenery to the top of Schweitzer Mountain. |
 |
| At the top of Schweitzer Mountain with our son and his wife. We went in and ate at the restaurant at the summit and enjoyed the glorious views as we ate and visited. |
 |
| Mountain gold - better known as huckleberries - we found a great spot on a mountainside and picked for about an hour. |
 |
| I had to make an errand run into Sandpoint and stopped by the City Beach there and saw this beautiful scene. |
 |
| A peek into my garden before we end this post... the pumpkin planted next to my garden sitting area has encroached, and since this picture was taken, you can hardly even see any of these things, as the pumpkins have just taken over! |
 |
| A little vignette from my garden sitting area... |
 |
| The king of bloomers in the garden, glorious sunflowers! |
 |
| These candy cane zinnias have been prolific bloomers also! |
 |
| Our area has been inundated with smoke for a couple of weeks. One day the winds changed, and the skies cleared of the smoke. I went down to the river and watched this beautiful sunset. Oh, how glorious it is to enjoy beautiful skies that are not filled with smoke. |
When there is so much beauty around me outside, it is hard for me to find time to sit at the computer inside and visit with you, my precious blogging friends. Please rest assured that in the days to come, as the garden will soon get put to bed, that I will have more time to visit. I appreciate each and every one of you, and the comments you share so kindly with me. May the blessings of the Lord be with each one of you in beautiful ways!
Please enjoy the latest music video that I've created,
I pray it is a blessing and encouragement to your heart!
