Good Morning!
We are having beautiful hot sunny weather here in Ohio. I’ve been spending a great deal of time outside tending my veggie gardens. It feels like summer and makes me want to stamp a little summer nature scene. I broke open a new Stampin’ Up! set, An Open Heart. Beautiful fine line designs and fabulous sentiments can be found in this set. I used the bird as the main image in today’s project. 🙂
You can find the complete supply list below for this project and also how to the get the tutorial for this project free or by purchase below.

I canned my first veggies of the season yesterday. I canned beets in a sweet cinnamon, allspice and clove brine, yum!

I like beets, I’m just not in love with them, but sweet beets I can embrace with my full heart.
Are you a beet fan?
It’s funny how I have changed over the years, my gardens were perennial flower gardens, but they are now all veggie gardens. I came to the conclusion if I’m going to spend all that time outside weeding and watering I might as well be growing something good to feed my family. Flowers are beautiful but they don’t help the grocery budget or give me the satisfaction I feel when I put home grown food on the table. 🙂
Lately, we have been enjoying fresh strawberries, peas, kale, beets, spinach and lettuce. I’m growing a lot more varieties of veggies now but they are not producing yet.
I now have 5 garden spaces to tend and I’m dreaming of putting more in this Fall, it’s a sickness. Russ tells me “go ahead it’s less I have to mow.” Yep, that’s why I’m doing it, not.
May you feel the warmth of the sun today too. I’m off to the garden.
Until my next post. . . . . . . .
Huge Hugs!
