Sunset in the Garden

Raspberry season is in full swing around here and we are picking gallons and gallons each day from our bushes! We were glad to have some extra help today from Uncle Mike and Auntie Chris to help lighten the load. My freezer is already filled with more berries than we can eat before next year (along with some packages left from last year). 

Cooper really enjoyed picking berries with us today and ate a whole bunch!

I wandered through the greenhouse mid afternoon to check on things and was surprised at how well our corn is doing! It's taller than Grampa now and we have so many cobs forming! 

After tucking in all of the littles, I got on some coveralls and began painting the garage! It was still the peach color of stucco we had before the renovation and we have been procrastinating the job of painting it. We decided to go with the darker color and I'm loving how it's turning out so far! My goal is to surprise Mike when he gets back from the hiking trip, but painting stucco is proving to be more time consuming than I'd like, so we shall see.

When I had finished painting for the evening the sunset skies were calling me on a walk. I noticed this mamma deer feeding in our field on my way up to the orchard and stopped to watch her for a while. 

I peeked in on the turkeys, and they were happily roosting.


I admired the apples & reflected on my day as the sun painted the sky. 

Then I grabbed a quick snack and headed inside for the night to finish cleaning the house while it was quiet.
