This summer we're convening down the driveway at the swimming hole on the river in the mornings to avoid the heat. It's nicely shaded. We love throwing rocks and sticks into the water, climbing the big rocks, and walking down to the big barn to say hello to the cows and Miss Martha Ray, the barn cat. We eat snack at the picnic table and go back up to the house for lunch and nap. We put a fish trap in the water today - maybe there will be something in there tomorrow morning when we check it!

Although we spend a lot of time outside, we always get a little time to play inside. I love how these rainbow pieces are stacked so precariously.

Monday's snack is rice and our farm eggs. I'm sure these kids could eat a dozen eggs in one sitting. I can't wait till we start getting tomatoes and cucumbers fresh from the garden to have with snack, too!

Tuesday is sausage (from pigs from our farm) and oatmeal day and it's strawberry season, so that can only mean one thing: strawberry oatmeal! We have a ton of strawberries coming in right now so we better put them to good use. We were starting to get tired of apple oatmeal too. Our oatmeal is super easy to make and today was soooooo delicious! Just oats, fresh picked strawberries, a pinch of cinnamon, maple syrup from Highland county, and a spoonful of lard. Yum!

We have huge red-veined sorrel plants on the play ground. Here Grady is showing us the part he likes to eat: the red stem. It is sour/tangy and juicy.

Our first Poppy is blooming and she is magnificent. The children really admired her and gave her lots of gentle pets.

Wednesday is bread day. For snack we have Zane's homemade sour dough, butter, and cheese. Yum! We have really been enjoying eating all our meals outside, too. We hear lots of different bees buzzing by, birds singing, the goats talking, and the cows mooing down the hill.

Today we planted 4 different types of cherry tomatoes since they seem to be such a hit with kids. It's so nice to walk down a garden path and pick a few cherry tomatoes to pop into your mouth while on your way. Also in this new bed is celery, cilantro and Johhny-jump-ups.

The other day I brought out a special treat, the bubble machine! It was so windy and Brother Wind took the bubbles so high into the sky.
