WORKING, LEARNING, AND PLAYING 

My plan for this summer was to keep up with at least a little school work each day but somehow we've found ourselves just really enjoying the break from workbooks and worksheets. I'm sure we still will do some some days but mornings playing outside, lazy afternoons watching a movie and summer evening fun seems to be the main theme this summer. 

YARD AND GARDEN

Austin and I picked another three buckets of kale today. So I'll be putting more in the freezer tomorrow. I was hoping to start cleaning it today but didn't get to it so I'm just trying to keep it cool until tomorrow. While we were in the garden this little fellow showed up to say Hi!

ANIMAL UPDATES

When Austin went to take the rabbits some greens he found this little bunny hopping around the rabbit colony. We didn't even know we had baby bunnies. He found the nest and there are four white and two brown babies. 

OUT AND ABOUT

This afternoon Michael and I were at my sister's for several hours so she could get some things done. Michael enjoyed playing with the other kids and I just enjoyed getting out for a few hours.

YARD AND GARDEN

The last week or so has been crazy busy and this is part of the reason why. I canned 49 quarts of green beans last week. The kids helped pick and clean and put them in jars.

We also pulled and cleaned another bucket of turnips and stored them in the basement. 

And today Austin and I cut three buckets full of kale before I started getting sick from the heat and had to go in. I got one bucket of it washed and blanched and put in the freezer and plan to do the other two buckets full tomorow.

WORKING, LEARNING, AND PLAYING TOGETHER

OUT AND ABOUT

We've been out and about quite a bit this past week. Doug worked several evenings on moving some things for my dad and one of those evenings the whole family helped. 

Friday evening we had a birthday party for my cousin and then went up on the mountain. 

Saturday we went to the Antique Mall and then took the kids for ice cream. 

Sunday after church and a late lunch we went to McCormick's Farm for the afternoon/evening. It was so beautiful and peaceful there and the kids loved playing.
