It Has Been a Long Time

I think this has been the longest time that I have ever been away from my blog.  Aside from the normal busyness of summer time, I have been doing a lot of introspection on what I want to be.  While there has been plenty of things to post about, my heart hasn’t really been in it, and I needed a break to think and ponder over what I want this blog to be.  That being said, I am back to blogging, for better or worse, hoping that I haven’t lost all my readers, and asking for forgiveness for my slacking off.
This summer, so far, we have:
Gone on a short family vacation

Had a wonderful (4 day) 4th of July Celebration

Hosted a BBQ

I had a simple surgical procedure

and attended two weddings, while looking forward to a third next month.
Gathering Eggs

All the while, tending a very difficult garden (this season has been a killer)and eating the fruits of my labor
