Happy 4th!

Well nothing says the fourth of July in the south quite like Blackberries and Peaches. So I made a Blackberry Peach cobbler.

Friday my neighbor surprised me with a big basket of Tame Blackberries and Peaches. I tell you I have the best neighbors in the world. Well, these blackberries were the largest I have ever seen in my life! I think they were on steroids.

We took the cobbler to a friend’s party. They really had a wonderful home and were very gracious hosts.

The boys had a great time swimming in the pool and playing with the other kids and their dog Hallie. She was a black lab who enjoyed playing ball in the pool.

The rain held off until dinner time and the the view from their front yard high up on a hill would have been incredible for the fireworks, but the weather made them hard to see, as it was very rainy by that time. There was even a tornado alert. I snapped a picture before the rain came.

Incredible views abound in Tennessee. The rain made everything damp except our spirits.

 

 

Y’all come back now!

About the author

I am a work at home Mom of two of the best boys ever. I am a Nationally Certified Master Groomer and have been grooming out of my home for the last 12 years. We have recently moved to Greenbrier Tn on 27 acres. We are new to the "homesteading thing" but we are excited to learn. We hope to be filling our farm with many critters and a garden. We are homeschoolers so everything is a unit study to us. It has been fun to see the boys help Dad cut firewood. We will also be learning how to build a chicken coop in the near future as well. I have been making handcrafted soap lately as well and I am seeing an improvement in that business as well. It is all natural vegetable and goat milk based soaps. Can't wait to share this experience with everyone.
