#daysofsummer2020
Happy Sunday Hive friends! I hope you're enjoying your day. This weekend has been so relaxing for me. Same as yesterday, today I also spent some time suntanning while enjoying my coffee. I also did some reading in the morning, enjoyed some delicious food, chatted with a friend and came across some amazing posts on Hive.
Main focus of today's post
is a new home for animals on our property. It is not fully done yet, there's still a few things to complete it but I wanted to share it anyways. This was all build by my dad with a little bit of help from my brother when needed. It is something that was planned for some time now but finally got to be realized. We already had some materials laying around and I am so happy it got used up because it was cluttering the space for years! Of course, there's still a lot of mess and clutter because the work is not done yet but I am really looking forward to see it all gone.
Chickens were following me thinking I have food for them
Leftover tiles from who knows when that are being used as a backdrop for the faucet
During spring I was trying to set up a chill spot under the hazelnut tree but that kind of failed. There's so much stuff there, my dad is using the shade of the tree whenever he can do some work there and of course, working on building this can be quite loud so it's not silent as usual. Never mind, I am happy that we are getting this area in order and I think it's going to look so much better when it's all done.
Just one part of the mess and a chicken of course :D my wooden chair is covered up right under the tree waiting to be used
Building materials everywhere
Fresh snack from the garden
I have been enjoying fresh blackberries and raspberries every day lately. I like them both but raspberries a little bit more. I am not having a lot of snacks/sweets these days so some fresh fruits are a great replacement. I find that during summer its a lot easier to have a healthier diet with all the fruits available so I'm trying to take advantage of it. Even though my main meals are not necessarily healthy, there's still some balance with fruits and a lot of water (or at least I hope so).
Handful of raspberries
My Sunday was rather relaxing as well!
Those raspberries look so delicious! None of my raspberry plants produced any berries this year! I think it was a result of transplanting them too many times before I moved here.
Anyway, the new animal building looks awesome! Also I gave the dogs some 'Nikolina hugs' this morning for you!
Shoot, I wish I could send you some. We never had raspberries in our garden until last year. So glad we gave them a shot. I would also like to get blueberries, never had those in the garden.
Aw, that's so lovely to hear! :)
Yeah, raspberries are yummy and I miss getting any of them this year! The ones that I have are black raspberries also which tend to be very sweet!
I did get a good amount of blueberries off my single blueberry bush so that was nice!
