Well, it's HAS been a while since I've blogged, huh? I have been using Facebook too much, I guess. I'll share a few pictures of what we've been up to lately.
This is the beautiful sight I was greeted with on Mother's Day: My Lambies awoke early and made Applesauce Oat Breakfast cookies and sliced strawberries and OJ. What sweethearts!
We went to the zoo with the cousins. What a great time we had!
We went to the lovely Sequoia National Forest for the day:
We climbed around on the huge rocks near the river:
I guess all the pictures of the river must be on my Honey's camera! I'll try to get some on soon.
I ate the first red cherry tomato today. There are many more reddening up. I hope the recent rain won't lead to blight...we are expecting more thunderstorms on Wednesday. I hope to have bushels and bushels of tomatoes to can this summer.
School is wrapping up. We should be finished next week, if all goes as planned. We'll see!
I've been making lots and lots of jams and jellies. We went to a u-pick cherry orchard and got buckets of Royal Anne cherries. I've been buying strawberries by the flat and freezing the extras for later. There's a berry farms that is u-pick about 30 minutes away. I hope to get there before the season is over.
We participated in the annual homeschool fair. The older Lambies made a big pulley system with Dad, among other things. Look for pics to be added to this post soon. They are also in Dad's camera.
We have birthday parties, family visiting and a used curriculum fair coming up in the next weeks. June is always busy! I hope yours is going well!
So many updates all at once.... I am glad that you are back to blogging. I love reading about your family. Congratulations on the canning. You have become quite successful at it. Hopefully in a years time I will also have improved as much as you. I would love to see pictures of the HS fair. It sounds like it was great. And congrats on the ripe tomatoes. Mine are finally coming in, but still VERY green. Hopefully we will both have quite the bounty this year. This is my first time trying at it... last year I had two grape tomato plants in small pots and they each produced about 10 or so tomatoes. That was it. this time they are in the ground (at least some of them are, and the ones in pots are in much bigger pots) So hopefully things will work out better. what a beautiful breakfast your kids made you. I am still marveling at how much your kids do independent of you. Someday mine will be big too... until then, I am trying to enjoy their littleness.... I do so hope to spend time with you again. I miss you...
I'm the blessed wife of My Honey of 14 years, and Momma to eight wonderful Lambies aged 13 and under. We live in Central CA, and use Ambleside Online for our curriculum. I'd love to meet you , so browse a while and feel free to leave a comment!
