A Walk through the Garden

I promise you. We are still alive. And doing very well! We didn't mean to desert you, but life happens sometimes.
We've been so busy.
Babysitting.
    Playing in the church band.
          Swimming.
                Laundry. (Which takes awhile because the dryer broke.)
                     Going to lots of cook outs. 
And of course gardening.
       Lots and lots of gardening.

(I decided not to edit any of these)

 I love our garden. It is so peaceful and full of life.

  The golden hour is made all the more beautiful as the blooming flowers take in the light.

              
 There is a dug out, worn out, foot path, weaving between the beds.  
                            But I still almost get lost.
It's a good lost. Lost in the green. Lost in the dirt.



 And Oh! the feeling you get after a long day of hard work in the sunshine!
                   And being able to see the fruit of your labor!
 "To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow."
                               -Audrey Hepburn
 "The earth has music for those who listen." 
                   -Shakespeare
 
 I admit. There are weeds. But the weeds are also beautiful.
      
 "If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere."
         -Van Gogh

The Sounds of Summer

You know that Summer is in full swing when you can hear the cicada's chirping and see the fireflies blinking...
Here is a short video taken at dusk in our backyard. Enjoy!
Love from,
Layla

Spring...

Spring is here in Texas! It is so beautiful!
The grass is green and lush, 
and speckled with pretty wild flowers!

 Eli and I. Yeah, we're crazy...

 Reflections of Layla in a puddle of spring rain...
 Isn't this little guy the cutest pony you have ever set eyes on?!? He is right across from our RV so we get to pet him quite often! :)
 
 Guitar at the beach...


 Primrose... They are so beautiful and this would be an awesome pic if it wasn't for that blurry blade of grass right in front!



 Look at that beautiful bright Texas sunshine!

 Sunset...

 Twisted vines...


  

Well folks, That's all for now... 
I hope you enjoyed these pictures! :)
Have an awesome Wednesday!
Blessings, Hagen

Hagen & the beach...

Hello Friends!
We didn't take any pictures for our usual Wednesday post, but I did snap a few of Hagen at the beach this weekend...





I really like this one. She brightens up my world!



Isn't she so darn cute?!?!

I hope you enjoyed these pictures...
Which is your favorite? Honestly, I can't pick!

Hope you are having an awesome week!

I ♥ Thursday {No. 8}

Finally, another I ♥ Thursday post!




Layla's ♥

This adorable shop called Kintage. Their motto is "Always pretty, never over $50"

 Coming home to Texas!
And finding funny Texas things to pin,
 like these...





And lots of Nautical Nonsense,
since we are close to the beach...

  ...these adorable anchor earings...

...collecting shells off the seashore...

 ...and this is irresistible!


Hagen's ♥

 Oh, how I have missed the library, it's creative atmosphere and so many books to choose from! Oh, and I got my first library card!

 I love Richard Peck, he is one of my favorite authors. I just finished Secrets at Sea!

Curling up in a cozy corner with a book, my favorite!


I also love a nice cup of tea! Raspberry and Chamomile tea is my favorite.

It's been raining...


I love palm trees...

 ... and evening primroses. 
They are all over Texas!

What are you loving this week?
Blessings,
Layla & Hagen

Video Friday {No. 2}

Hello everyone! It's Friday, are you ready for our next video? I know the day is almost over, but I was having some serious technical difficulties!
 
This video we would like to share is a tour of our farm in the winter. Now, we don't have a full fledged farm, just a micro-farm. We actually farm off of .48 of an acre!

We are posting two videos this week, because a few things happened after our first video, and thought you should know about it!


Now, without further adieu, we present to you our Farm Tour.
Enjoy!


And the update video...


Just so you know, the fours hens are still alive and are building immunities. The keifer water is really helping! I finally figured out how to tell the difference in a boy and girl rabbit, so Marshmallow is actually a girl!

Hope you enjoy this little tour! There will be loads more videos once Spring comes and we start working in the garden again! 
Blessings,
Layla & Hagen
