A Little Bit Country

Photobucket


And yet another photo from the old barn shoot. I should probably put these in an on-line album and just post the link but it's more fun to me to post them individually.

It's a quiet, lazy Tuesday here in the west Atlanta area. You can tell that summer has set in. The air is hazy and the humidity, well, you know the old saying, "It isn't the heat, it's the humidity". It's true. There will be a 20% chance of rain in the forecast for the next three months. We could use about a 100% chance right now - everything is so very dry that even the heavy rain of a few days ago wasn't enough. We need one of those good old 2 day soaking rains.

Life's been quiet here at the Hendrix Homestead. We're loving being able to eat our homegrown tomatoes, our homegrown cucumbers, our homegrown potatoes and even a few homegrown beans. Next year add okra to that list.

Homegrown is good!

I'll gladly send you some of our rain, if you'll send some heat and sun! My garden is very green, and the leaves look lovely...but no tomatoes, or cucumbers, or peppers yet. For that apparently some serious sunshine is needed!

Hope you'll post some pics of your homegrown bounty so I can enjoy some vicarious veggies!

It has been quiet here too. I love your gate photograph. I've seen lovely old gates like this but could have never captured the quaint, been-down-that-road feel that you infused the whole photograph with. AMAZING.
