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

  1. So good to "see" you again! You have had a full summer and that is good. I know a break is an important thing sometimes. Helps us see a little clearer.

    Lots of Love Erika

  2. Holy crap! I had no idea your leg looked like that! Sorry for being a bad friend/neighbor…I hope it's feeling better!? Glad you're back to the blog!

  3. It's good to have you back…even if it is for better or worse. We all have those times with our blogs I think. I know for me, the summer has been so filled with fun things to do, I haven't blogged as much as I usually would. I hope your summer has been a good one!!!

    Blessings,

  4. Missed you Aimee–glad to hear from you again!
    Taking time for yourself to do some self-examination is always OK, as is having little retreats once in awhile for body,mind and soul:)
    Our garden has been tempermental too–we lost raspberries and gooseberries due to excessive heat!
    Ouch on your leg! Hope your recovery is swift!
    Blessings,
    Aimee

  5. Have enjoyed reading your blog. Summer is a good time to step back and enjoy summer and family though.

  6. So glad to have you back! Your carrots look awesome. And that didn't look like a simple surgical procedure! I hope that you've healed well and quickly.
