I love that we live where there are 4 very distinct seasons.  I don’t think I have a favorite….but.  Late spring/early summer is so FULL of fun stuff.  We start to see the fruit of our labor in the garden, baby chicks and ducklings arrive, baby goats are born and the days are warm, but not too warm!

Fresh out of the oven.  Rosie had twin girls on June 17th.

One of the best ways to use up fresh eggs and some garden produce is a quiche!
