a lovely afternoon

we meant to go peach and plum picking, but it turns out the tractor pulled us to the black raspberry field instead, so that's what we picked. extreme heat didn't keep us from enjoying a visit to great country farms with our friends. it reminded us fondly of good times with good friends at u-pick farms back in northern california.


chicken tenders! and lemonade!

flatbread for the teen

burrito for mom

panning for stones - one of the teen's favorite activity. he came home with a damp pocket full of treasured rocks.

gorgeous day on the farm
feeding the sweet baby goats
on the way to the picking field
black raspberries at varying stages of ripeness

onward & upward

he has been promoted to seventh grade - that means middle school next year - new teachers, new classes, and a new building. a lot of changes ahead, and a lot of changes already made. he's come a long way.
