Ahh, it's July.   We are blissfully pulling giant weeds from our fields and watching  most of our crops grow.  (See the pictures of the week on our website)  The copious rain could relent a little, as I'm done with wearing the rubber boots.  The tomatoes, peppers, & okra could use some heat now!  Row covers are our friends since they give us a few extra degrees.  

    We are preparing for our fourth CSA share pickup this weekend.  So far, so good with this endeavor.  I enjoy the weekly interaction with members,  hearing how they prepared our produce.  We look forward to the beans and squashes that are rapidly filling their spaces in the garden.  

    It feels very wholesome to bring our child into the garden while we're working.  Sometimes we'll wear her, other times she enjoys assorted baby furniture we've inherited.  When Fernie rolls off of her blanket, she becomes immersed in the jungle!  Oh where, oh where has my baby gone.....Her immmobile days are gone for sure!!  She loves watching branches sway in the breeze, & occasionally she talks at the dogs.   Lately I've been hitching Bernie to a snow sled and then taking her for rides which she loves.   He definitely has blossomed with his new job, excited to wear his harness and care for the baby.  It is a busy day keeping all of our wards occupied!
