Taking homemade pizza to the next level . . .

So fun. Today for a late lunch we are having homemade cheese pizza. Using sauce from scratch: home canned tomatoes. Using homemade mozzarella, from our fresh goat milk. I'm also making the crust from scratch.

I'm sorry to report that a big wind came through and destroyed the hummingbird nest. So sad. Yet, I feel so privileged to have seen it.

The garden isn't doing as well as last year, but I have put up s
ome green beans. This summer has been so cool. I don't think we've been past ninety degrees this past July, which seems unreal.
Doesn't seem like summer yet. Usually we have days that melt you the minute you step outside.

Now we are starting to see the barn swallows congregate on the power lines, which has to mean that fall is approaching and school will be starting soon. This past weekend, the kids found this gorgeous luna moth. These moths are my favorite. We looked up what host plant her larvae will enjoy most, and then relocated her to a walnut tree.
