Here’s more of a close-up. Trimming the bushes back really does work. It’s blooming again!
My new favorite flower this summer is the Zinnia. This is the first year that I have grown them. (shocking, I know!)
They are so pretty!
And the butterflies like them, too.
I have them in pots on the front porch. The Butterfly bush above is right off the porch. So it’s like a Butterfly playground out there. We can sit in the living room and see all kinds of butterflies outside the windows.
On the animal front, all is well. The male goat is in rut. Which is a good thing, except we should change his name to Stinky. lol Your alright, as long as you don’t get to close, or stand down wind of him. lol
Next week, I’ll have a picture update of our fall vegetable garden.
I have discontinued the Saturday on the Farm linky until the spring. If you have a garden or farm post that you would like to share, please leave it in the comments.

by Larry Huch. I am totally enjoying this book! I like how he tells us the Hebrew word that is used and how it it translated. If your interested in Bible history, the Biblical Feasts, and how we can be blessed by learning about these, you’ll love this book. I’m about half way through now, and I have learned so much.
out loud to the kids.

The author uses parallels to lead the reader to an understanding of Christ and what He did for them by drawing lessons from The Chronicles of Narnia.
