I have been strangely out of words lately, falling into bed at night and waking up early to beat the heat. We have been busy with birthday parties,  baseball and our already abundant garden.

There are loads of pictures to show what we’ve been up to and notes about our school year to share, what worked, what didn’t and what I’m looking forward to doing this coming school year.

So if you’ll bear with me, there may be days of more photos than words……

Because that’s life.

As the weather begins warming up, these plants will start producing, and I will be swimming in tomato goodness.

The plum tree on the right is over flowing with fruit which we intend to jam, freeze and dry this coming week.  C's zuccinni has made it into egg dishes and sautes flavored by J's fresh herbs. We picked our first table gold squash today. Z has been shucking beans. 

Little miss has supplied our table with some junior sized sunflowers.

1st of the season apricots for jam

Apricot and apricot strawberry

Yum!
