Garden Times

 

 This is our AWESOME home teacher, brother K. 

He and Ezra are good buddies.

 I've always wanted to grow my own calendula. It is such a delight to grow and dry. I've made infused oil with it already and hopefully some new salves soon.

 This patch of Lavatera flowers from a friend filled my soul with joy.

 Fancy salad makers!

 We were so lucky to have our bishop from church keep his bees on our land. It was quite thrilling for the kids to watch him work with the bees.

Charlie makes us beet pop.

POOL DAY

Oh the excitement for a pool day at Grammy's! It was sure fun swimming the afternoon away and who knew Grammy had such an impeccable dive!

July

 We had a fun birthday play day with cousins. As you can see there was some deep play going on.

 This book from Aunty Jenny soon  became Hazel's favorite- 

nudist drawings of wild forest children followed soon thereafter...

 Henry and Hazel are only a month apart. 

 We've all enjoyed getting to know Max better this summer. He's such a cool little dude.

 Do all 4 year olds get this excited about a fieldguide to seashells?

 Scarlet picked out these cute beads for Hazel's birthday bead kit.

 Happy 4th Birthday Hazel!

 Jane brings her book journal to the library and then proceeds to chit chat with the librarians about anything books.  

We had a fun beach day with our pals. We made a sweat hut on the sand and played the day away.
