Back again!

This blogging idea of mine is not working out too well.  Think maybe I am too lazy.  Anyway, I'm going to try to do better keeping up with this posting.
Don't know why it is so difficult for me to write because I certainly am good at talking.  Talking too much so my husband says.
Today has been a beautiful June day.  So much different from June weather in 2012!  Last year was so hot and dry throughout spring and summer.
We aren't a farm family but we certainly are in farm country!  Across the road from us corn has been planted in a field, our property to the east joins a soybean field , and just 'down the road a little piece'  there is a wheat field.
We built a new porch on the front of our house this year and guess me and pa will sit out there in our adirondack chairs a whittling and watching the corn grow.  Problem is, I've got to learn to whittle and so has pa.
Also, if I had my druthers I would be sitting in my adirondack chair looking at a pretty lake.
Now that I've got my druthers out of the way, I'll get back to what a wonderful day I've had today.
I did some weeding in my flower beds but not enough to amount to make a dent in the weed crop.  May do some more weeding tomorrow or maybe not.  The flowers are doing quite well with all this rain we've been receiving so have not had much watering to do.  Just spend a lot of time admiring and photographing my flowers. "That's a good thing!", so says Martha Stewart....
I spent a lot of time on Facebook, Make the Cut forum, and on Shuttercal today.  So good to keep in touch with friends and family!
I recently bought a new camera so devoted quite a bit of time taking some pictures with it but think I am actually going to have to get the manual out (ugh!) and learn how to use it properly.
I'm going to close this silly ramble and post a couple of pictures I took today.



The first picture is our Martin house sans Martins.  Second picture is actually as it appears, a tractor on top of a silo.  It has lights on it and at night it is very pretty.  Who would have thunk it?
Third picture is our new porch where me and pa will whittle and watch corn grow.
God Bless til we chat again...........
