Harvest Time at the Garden

This year we have learned lots from our first garden. The first is that a garden that is within walking distance is better than one that is 10 miles away. Secondly, keeping a garden relatively weed free is nice. And, finally it is all about the soil. We hope to take all we have learned and make next year's garden in our own backyard. Even though our harvest has not been stellar, (the bunnies have had lots to eat however!) we have enjoyed some tomatoes, peas and squash. The kids have had fun and there is a perfect shady spot by our garden that makes for a fun picnic place. It's all good!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Yes, I recently had the joy of celebrating another birthday. I just had to preserve my favorite brfday card from Ben. His dad assures me he did this by himself! Just for the record, he is 4!! Look out MENSA!

Summer is just Peachy!

As most of you know, I am really into agritourism right now. I recently stumbled upon a "you pick" peach orchard nearby. The cousins and I went to the orchard and came home with the absolute best peaches I have ever eaten. The orchard was beautiful and we had lots of fun picking. We all ate a juicy peach on the way home. yum!

A big shout out to Daddy! Many of you know that Todd is training for a cross-state ride (yes, 433.7 miles!) and this milestone of a century recently took place. We were all so proud of him! The ride he is training for is called the Adoption Tour and it will happen the first week in October. More to come!
