And we officially have the garden finished!! The edging is up, and few more plants are in the ground… and I got myself a pot of flowers for the porch.. because Dahlias.. who can resist those?! I can’t! 🌷🌷

I love spending my mornings like this now… it’s small.. definitely not our homestead yet….. but for this moment, it’s exactly what it’s supposed to be.

And it’s amazingly perfect 🪏🫑 🎃🥒🍓🌿🌶️🌶️ 🍅🥬

This is my new coffee combo…
2 scoops of brown sugar and add a gulp of buttermilk.. fill with strong black coffee and top off with a few gulps of (homemade) sweetened condensed milk. 😋😋

I would say that Boston Butt that had been in the oven for 7-hours was a big hit at the dinner table! 😋😋🐷
