summer solstice

 
 
Summer solstice, first day of summer, longest day of the year, last day of school. My garden is celebrating! In Massachusetts, we have 15:17 hours of sunlight today (sunrise 5:07, sunset 8:24). Maybe it’s a good day to get a lot of work done. Or a day to just hang out and enjoy the sun.

More photos from my parents’ yard. The catbird nest is in a hemlock bush right near their back door. It has four bright blue eggs. Mrs. Catbird didn’t mind the photos I took and was quickly back on her nest.

This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy thinks the garden is his, even though I do all the work. We're located near Boston, in USDA zone 6. I have bees, chickens, fruit trees and berry bushes, too. I use all sustainable organic methods and strive to grow all of my family's vegetables myself. -Kathy

Skippy’s vegetable of the month – Spinach!

"It seems like the garden is fast asleep under its cover of snow. But hidden from view a secret world is busy preparing to grow."

"What can happen to a seed is a miracle."
