Summer 2020 Part 2

She stuffed her handlebars with lilacs. Can I please keep her forever!

When her foot fell asleep she said, "My foot hurts. It feels like ants. It's like sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle."

We can't believe how lucky we are to have cousins that moved here!

Creston is one of our favorite places!

We decided to learn how to fish this summer!

For graduation we picked up tubes so we could float the creek.

 

Scarlet and her pal Andy.

Sun kissed beauties.

Sometimes we forget we're at Grammy's and not a resort!

Visiting with the Skinner's in Waterton was a delight!

Our best garden ever. We spent a lot of time gardening this summer, maybe that's where Hazel's recent insults have stemmed from...she calls people "cabbage balls" and "coconut heads"

Garden #2

An eggplant blossom in the greenhouse.

Robin eggs right on the garage windowsill.

We like to go to the Prince of Whales for the cheese platter one date night.

Coolest field trip! We went to a dairy farm for a tour and even got to see a brand new, 

1-day old foal on the way home.

Scarlet is part kitten. You can always find her curled up in a patch of sunshine reading.

Tim finished building a fire pit on our land.

Grammy's yard is full of gorgeous blossoms. White lilacs are

 beautiful and so are these little cousins.

This was a late night chess match- we couldn't dare stop the magic and put them to bed. By the time they left a roaring storm had started outside and it turned into a dramatic departure!

Caught wild bunnies- we let them go right away but they were cute while it lasted.

Family time should always take place under an apple tree.

Summer 2020

 Ezra took this amazing photo of snake grass for his nature journal.

 Hazel learning about the spine.

 Oh how we love Harold's micro greens in our salads. Hopefully we can learn the ways ourselves.

 So lucky to have friends to play in the mud with.

 Always a joy to be wit the Wood's.

 Ezra's breakfast presentation.

 Hazel made wind chimes out of glass beads for Daisy's birthday.

 He finally finished his Burgess animal book! Yippeee!

 Upon seeing that the weather turned to rain, Jane sighed, "I was going to catch pigeons today, play on the hill and organize bones." By the way she named the said pigeons, "Dorkus and Darwin."

 We went to the Hirsche's farm. Nothing like the feeling of hefting a warm and pink baby pig.

 My little Dolly!

 We made art trading cards out of our picture study art. That way the kids get to review the artists and titles as they trade!

 More piggy time. Ezra was especially interested in the caring of pigs.

 Bonding time with Lizzy.

 Connie let us use part of her greenhouse which was really exciting. 

 For Mother's Day Scarlet copied out the new Proclamation for me.

 Our garden at the Pilling's was SO exciting to plant. The soil was amazing!

 Good little pals.

 I LOVE my new knitted vest from Lizzy.

 Scarlet's awesome nature journal page.

 Hazel's perceptive drawing of Jane and Maggie making music.

Charlie's music looks like this now. Black squiggles everywhere...it hurts my brain!
