The drought this year has been brutal, hasn’t it? Our lawns are literally crunchy. Of course this was the summer we decided to tame our back yard garden, tossing what got way too large for it’s space, planting many new perennials and a few flowering cherry trees. So, that’s meant watering watering watering, we are thankful for a very good well here on the farm. Down at Stella by the Sea, we gave up on any ideas of green grass. I have managed to keep the potted geraniums and sweet potato vine alive and the tomatoes from that little garden have been heavenly. Up here on the farm, the yield has been.. meh. And it’s already spent.
Stella tomatoes…
A Stella Sunset taken last night by another photographer with a drone at extreme low tide… where you can walk across the entire cove without getting your waist wet. The water rises about six feet at high tide, so the boats that use our cove have to navigate when they should come and go.
Miss Molly is doing very well here with us, she and Lacey are definitely a team now, and she continues to astound us with her navigation abilities. She knows our voices and whinnies when we come to the barn at feed time, she knows where the gate is and comes right to it to be led in to their stall. When she wants to find Lacey in their paddock she stands still and listens for the bell tied in lacey’s mane, and walks right over to her, as if she had sight. It truly, truly amazing.
More wedding photos, the photog versions have arrived….. Indeed the whole darn lot of us had some good old fashioned fun ✨
Mom and my son…. (she was the JP)
Cousins, Me, Sister, Niece 💕
Boyz to Men – They all grew up together, went to school together, played sports together, and two have joined the group by becoming family… I just love this photo for so many reasons.
The night goes so fast, as they always do when you’re having fun. It was something we all needed, and we all cut loose. It’s times like these that remind us how it feels to be really alive, all in, enjoying each other’s company, casting worries and stress aside. We definitely showed up. When you get the chance… take it.
Leaving you with these wise words right here… I am ALL ABOUT THIS from here on out… So done with the self criticisms, I am so grateful to be here to experience the whole process. We’re winning, friends…. every single blessed day… we are winning.
Till soon, friends…
Looks like everyone had a great time at the wedding! I love that you put a little bell on your other horse – animals can be very adaptable given the right conditions. – Jenn
You look gorgeous! I love the phot of you and the mister. What a handsome group and what fun you all had. xxoo
That Stella sunset is a dazzler. And I loved all the wonderful wedding photos. Your horses — divine!
I’m loving these photos. Beautiful wedding reception, and SO much fun. How great that your mom officiated the wedding; I know that made all of you so happy. Loved seeing you and Mike Sr on the dance floor.
Miss Molly is so cute, and I’m glad she’s doing well.

Thank you for sharing such wonderful pictures. Everyone is beautiful because of the smiles and it is easy to see the absolute enjoyment everyone is having! Priceless!
Just showing up to see what’s what. You know I forgot to mention that I also love the photo with Mike and his friends. It’s amazing to have friends for a long time, really a blessing.
Ok, as Britt said when she was a little girl “all done now”. 🙂
I think you’re right. We’ve forgotten how to cut loose and let the good times roll. Glad everyone had a wonderful time, and congratulations to your son and new daughter-in-law.
