Go back to simple food, simple clothes, simple pleasures.
Pray hard, work hard, sleep hard and play hard.
Do it all courageously and cheerfully. – Herbert Hoover
So when one has too much to say, don’t say nothing at all (nod to Thumper). Sometimes pictures speak more than words… enjoy.

Anna apple trees loaded with fruit
Low chill blueberry bed
Cassidy enjoys the shade of the towering tomatoes and cool moist soil from the clay pot irrigation
Homegrown beauties
Lovely visitor enjoys the blooming purple echinacea “cones”
Front yard edible landscaping
Bees enjoy the purple echinacea too
Bees working the sweetly scented African Blue Basil
Bess and butterflies galore! Urban wildlife at it’s best and much enjoyed here on the urban homestead.

Do you ever end up having so much of a surplus of some things that you don’t know what to do with it all, or can’t process it fast enough? Do you can, freeze, preserve, etc? I know you sell quite a bit as well, but it looks like you have a great deal of some of the greenery 🙂

Just wondering what type of food do the cats eat? Are they vermin (rats/mice) hunters or do they eat dry or canned food? As usual, your pictures are beautiful and Cassidy looks very peaceful.
